Alfred  Newbery,  Class  Poet 

They  may  tell  us  that  we're  young  yet,  boys, 

The  world  awaits  outside 
And  songs  we  have  not  sung  yet,  boys, 

To  humble  all  our  pride. 

That  we  do  not  know  life  yet,  boys, 

That  this  is  only  play; 
That  we  have  seen  no  strife,  yet,  boys. 

Our  valor  to  display. 

We  answer  thus  their  caution,  boys, 

Admit  their  every  word! 
That  we've  not  had  our  portion,  boys, 

As  yet  have  drawn  no  sword. 

But  we  know  also  this,  boys* 

Some  failure  all  the  time; 
That  one  man  wTins  the  race,  boys, 

That  everything  can't  rhyme. 

But  we  know  also  this,  boys. 

And  this  our  strength  shall  prove, 

The  motto  that  we'll  trust,  is,  boys, 
That  youth  can  all  things  move! 

Whom  gods  love,  is  told,  boys, 

Die  young.     And  it  is  true, 
For  they  can  ne'er  grow  old,  boys, 

Their  youth  they  e'er  renew! 

Then  let  us  be  loved  by  gods,  boys, 

And  old  we'll  never  be. 
Grey  hairs  we  fight  at  odds,  boys, 

Old  hearts  we'll  never  see. 


AMHERST  COLLEGE  CLASS  BOOK 


We'll  return  though  we  be  fewer, 

To  this  our  youth's  first  love. 
And  we'll  find  it  a  renewer,  boys, 

Of  happy  skies  above. 

And  we'll  pledge  ourselves  all  over,  boys, 

Our  trial  will  then  be  near. 
And  choking  thoughts  will  hover,  boys, 

Of  friendships  close  and  dear. 

Then  they'll  tell  us  that  we're  young  still,  boys, 

The  world  can  wait  outside. 
Songs  will  prove  we're  strong  of  lung  still,  boys, 

For  with  youth  we'll  e'er  abide. 

Our  student  days  are  over,  boys, 

Our  time  is  drawing  near. 
And  choking  thoughts  do  hover,  boys, 

Of  friendships  close  and  dear. 

We  have  grown  to  know  each  other,  boys, 

Our  bonds  are  true  and  deep; 
Each  to  each  a  brother,  boys, 

And  so  we  pray  to  keep.

President  Meiklejohn  to  1913 

Members  of  the  Class  of  19 13  in  Amherst  College: 

I  welcome  you  as  players  of  the  game,  as  members  of  the  team, 
and  now  I  ask  you,  "Are  you  ready?"  Have  you  seen  those  fine  and 
beautiful  things  in  human  experience  which  can  compel  your  alle- 
giance; are  you  ready  to  separate  out  the  true  from  the  false,  the 
good  from  the  bad,  the  generous  from  the  selfish,  the  beautiful  from 
the  ugly;  can  you  read  a  good  book  and  find  satisfaction  in  the 
experience;  can  you  talk  with  a  friend  and  make  the  talk  worth 
while;  can  you  be  alone  and  not  be  lonely  and  vacant  of  mind;  are 
you  sensitive  to  the  wonders  and  possibilities  of  human  experience 
and  of  the  world  within  which  that  experience  falls ;  can  you  be  fine 
but  stalwart,  gentle  but  relentless,  enthusiastic  but  sensible,  earnest 
but  reasonable?  And  again  are  you  able  to  endure?  Will  you, 
when  once  you  set  your  teeth  into  a  task,  keep  them  clenched  until 
the  task  is  done  or  reason  has  seen  some  better  bite  to  take?  Can 
you  be  counted  on  by  your  fellows  to  do  what  you  have  given  them 
reason  to  expect  you  will  do  ?  Can  you  count  on  yourself  to  stand  the 
strain  when  the  time  of  trial  comes? 

If  you  have  in  any  measure  achieved  these  qualities — the  vision 
to  see  and  the  power  to  endure,  then  Amherst  sends  you  out  with 
confidence  to  play  the  human  game.  Keep  clear  your  vision  of  the 
things  that  are  best;  keep  strong  your  resolution  to  follow  them  to 
the  end ;  and  as  the  days  go  by  come  back  and  tell  us  how  the  game 
goes  on.

Raymond  Witherspoon  Cross,  Ivy  Orator 
As  long  as  the  history  of  man  has  existed,  so  long  has  symbolism 
existed.  Man  has  always  tried  to  picture  to  himself  in  some  concrete 
form  the  more  immaterial  things  of  life.  The  ancients  saw  the  bless- 
ings which  the  sun  gave  us,  and  worshipped  the  sun  as  the  concrete 
cause  of  those  blessings.  Where  they  could  not  find  such  a  cause  in 
nature,  they  invented  some  god,  statues  of  which  they  made  and 
worshipped.  In  later  days  we  agree  upon  the  lion  as  a  symbol  of 
strength,  and  the  lily  as  a  symbol  of  purity.  The  exact  form  of  the 
symbolism  may  have  changed,  but  the  symbolism  itself  remains.  And 
so  today  the  class  of  19 13  is  planting  an  ivy  vine  as  a  symbol  of  one 
large  part  of  their  college  life.  That  part  has  to  do  with  the  sur- 
rounding country,  with  the  out-or-doors,  with  nature. 

Nature  has  taught  us  much,  for  we  are  here  ideally  situated  in 
her  midst.  Amherst  is  on  a  little  knoll  in  the  center  of  a  large  basin. 
On  every  side  the  land  slopes  downward,  and  then,  after  several 
miles  it  gradually  rises  into  the  hills  which  form  the  great  rim  of 
the  basin.  That  rim  is  thickly  wooded,  and  in  some  places  the  forests 
become  rather  extensive.  In  the  fall  we  watch  this  encircling  girdle 
pass  through  many  color  changes  and  turn  at  last  into  a  dull,  sere 
brown,  that  color  which  denotes  the  season  of  death.  Then  one 
morning  we  wake  to  find  our  encircling  wall  a  mass  of  crisp  and 
sparkling  white.  It  is  the  season  when  wits  are  sharpened,  and  man 
strives  most  with  man.  But  before  we  are  hardly  aware  of  it,  the 
sun  is  each  day  dropping  a  little  later  behind  those  western  hills. 
Finally  comes  the  day  whose  dawn  looks  down  upon  our  whitened 
girdle,  but  whose  twilight  sees  it  not.  And  then — perhaps  a  day, 
perhaps  a  week — and  all  is  green.  It  is  the  season  of  the  beginning 
of  life.  It  is  the  season  of  youth.  So  we  have  watched  the  cycle  of 
the  seasons  through  four  short,  fleeting  years.  But  we  have  done 
more  than  watch  them ;  we  have  felt  them ;  we  have  learned  from 
them  the  triple  cycle  of  death,  non-existence  and  life. 

The  woods  and  the  hills  and  the  plains  have  taught  us  many 
things.  There  have  occurred  certain  days  in  our  college  course  when 
we  have  been  very  successful.  All  has  gone  even  better  than  we  had 
hoped,  and   we  have  begun  to  think  that  we  are  almost  capable  of 


AMHERST  COLLEGE  CLASS  BOOK 


overcoming  the  irresistible,  as  you  know  we  little  Seniors  sometimes 
think.  Then  in  the  afternoon  we  have  climbed  old  Norwottuck, 
over  there  beyond  the  gym,  and  looked  down  on  all  this  valley.  We 
knew  that  we  were  only  a  part  of  Amherst,  and  we  saw  the  whole 
of  Amherst  small  enough  to  rest  in  one  hand.  We  looked  beyond 
to  Mt.  Sugar  Loaf,  which  really  appeared  about  the  right  size  for 
our  morning  cup  of  coffee,  and  yet  we  knew  that  we  could  easily 
spend  twenty  minutes  in  climbing  it.  We  watched  a  little  silver 
band  wend  its  way  down  the  valley,  but  we  knew  that  all  the  forces 
of  man  could  not  stop  the  flow  of  that  band.  All  these  things 
together  formed  only  an  infinitesimal  amount  of  the  vista  lying 
before  us,  and  we  realized  that  we  composed  but  a  small  part  of  one 
of  these  things.  With  a  thud  we  came  to  a  sense  of  our  insignifi- 
cance and  unimportance.  We  decided  not  to  overcome  the  irresistible. 

Or  it  may  be  that  the  day  had  all  gone  wrong.  We  were  highly 
excited  mentally  and  felt  that  we  could  not  forgive  ourselves  for  the 
fools  that  we  had  been.  We  did  not  even  want  to  sit  down,  for  we 
hated  to  think  of  what  we  had  done.  In  such  a  condition  we  may 
have  gone  to  Toby,  and  started  to  follow  one  of  the  brooks  up 
through  the  woods.  Half  unconsciously  we  heard  it  rippling  beside 
us.  Then  we  became  thirsty,  and  were  forced  to  lie  down  to  drink 
from  it.  But  the  ground  was  more  comfortable  than  we  had  thought, 
and  we  lay  looking  at  the  blue  sky  overhead.  We  wondered  what 
was  the  name  of  the  bird  in  the  next  tree.  A  cool  breeze  made  us 
recall  our  plan  for  the  morrow.  We  had  forgotten  that  anything 
had  been  wrong.  We  were  at  peace  with  the  world  and  ourselves. 
Nature  had  shown  us  that  we  could   retain  our  self-respect. 

But  the  great  predominating  characteristic  which  the  woods  and 
stones  and  brooks  have  always  impressed  upon  us  is  their  simplicity. 
They  live  by  natural  law,  and  do  not  try  to  substitute  another  of 
their  own.  They  have  no  false  ambition.  The  violet  does  not  try 
to  become  an  oak,  nor  does  the  oak  try  to  become  a  granite  boulder. 
Each  is  the  greatest  in  its  way,  and  remains  as  it  is.  Indeed,  "Full 
many  a  flower  was  born  to  blush  unseen,  and  waste  its  sweetness  on 
the  desert  air."  But  it  was  none  the  less  beautiful  for  that  reason. 
All  nature  exists  in  simplicity  and  in  harmony.  This  is  perhaps  the 
greatest  lesson  which  the  woodlands  have  tried  to  impress  upon  us. 

Thus  the  school  of  nature  has  taught  us  many  things  about 
ourselves,  and  so  led  us  to  a  better  understanding  of  others.     We 


NINETEEN    HUNDRED    AND    THIRTEEN 


all  know  that  when  two  individuals  are  strolling  through  the  woods 
there  is  a  kind  of  harmony  exists  between  them  which  is  not  present 
in  ordinary  life.  A  new  bridge  has  been  created,  and  it  is  easier  for 
the  one  to  explain  himself  to  the  other,  as  well  as  for  the  other  to 
understand.  Perhaps  this  is  due  to  the  peace  of  nature,  or  to  its  sim- 
plicity. The  restraint  of  our  modern  mechanism  of  life  has  been 
thrown  off,  and  the  individual  is  free  to  act  as  God  meant  him  to. 
He  feels  the  spirit  of  life  bound  up  within  him,  increased  by  the 
many  life  forces  on  every  side.  His  mind  is  keener  and  his  confidence 
greater.  So  the  realm  of  nature  helps  us  to  understand  others  as  well 
as  ourselves.     It  helps  us  to  form  closer  and  more  lasting  friendships. 

We  have  also  found  in  nature  a  great  resolve.  It  is  the  resolve 
of  the  "eternal  try."  She  does  not  say,  "Try,  and  try  again,"  but 
rather,  "Try  until  non-existence  shall  stop  your  trying."  The  acorn 
put  in  the  ground  never  stops  trying  to  be  a  mighty  oak  until  it  has 
reached  that  stage  or  has  died.  The  seed  never  stops  trying  to  grow 
until  it  has  flowered  or  ceased  its  existence.  The  drop  of  water 
formed  from  the  cloud  never  stops  trying  to  find  the  level  of  the 
ocean  until  it  has  reached  that  level  or  has  lost  its  existence,  as  water, 
by  chemical  combination.  Thus  the  objects  of  nature,  if  they  have  not 
accomplished  their  goal,  may  be  said  to  "die  trying."  Nature  has 
partially  taught  us  to  "die  trying,"  but  she  needs  to  teach  us  that 
lesson  still  more  perfectly. 

It  is  a  peculiar  fact  that  the  most  beautiful  flowers,  and  trees, 
and  mountains,  are  usually  those  wThich  are  very  different  from  the 
common  lot.  They  have  made  a  venture,  and  have  produced  some- 
thing of  great  beauty.  This  reminds  us  of  the  author  who  in  the 
words  of  woodlore,  uttered  this  resolve.  "I  cannot  follow  the  beaten 
path ;  I  will  not  follow  another  path ;  I  wTill  make  a  path  and  leave 
a  trail."  Nature  would  seem  to  say  to  us,  "Die  trying  to  make  a 
path  in  order  that  you  may  leave  a  trail." 

I  have  not  mentioned  the  scholastic  side  of  college  life.  I  chose 
rather  to  speak  to  you  only  of  that  part  of  our  four  years'  life  that 
has  to  do  with  nature.  I  wanted  to  give  you  a  little  idea  of  what  the 
hills  of  Amherst  have  done  for  us.  It  would  be  impossible  for  me 
to  begin  to  tell  you  all  that  they  have  done  for  us. 

This  morning,  in  order  that  we  may  have  a  concrete  symbol  of 
the  nature  part  of  our  college  life,  we  plant  the  Ivy.

Henry  Smith  Leiper,  Class  Orator 
Change  is  the  great  characteristic  of  our  time.     The  old  order 
is  changing. 

"Where    the    vanguard    camps    tonight 
The   rear  shall   camp   tomorrow!" 
The  people  are  thinking  new   thoughts   about  themselves  and   their 
world.     Nothing  is  steadfast  or  approved.     In  business  and  politics, 
in  economics  and  statecraft,  in  everything  everywhere  we  find  doubt 
and  uncertainty,   bewilderment  amounting  often  to  confusion. 

What  are  the  causes  of  this?  There  are  many  causes.  Perhaps 
most  obvious  is  an  economic  cause.  In  the  unprecedented  material 
advance  of  the  past  half  century  science  and  invention  have  increased 
our  facility  for  the  creation  of  wealth  faster  than  we  could  learn  to 
use  it.  As  President  Wilson  has  told  us  in  his  great  inaugural:  "The 
evil  has  come  with  the  good  and  much  fine  gold  has  been  corrupted. 
With  riches  has  come  inexcusable  waste.  We  have  squandered  a 
great  part  of  what  we  might  have  used.  *  *  *  We  have  been  proud 
of  our  industrial  achievements,  but  we  have  not  *  *  *  stopped 
thoughtfully  enough  to  count  the  human  cost.  The  groans  and 
agony  of  it  all  have  not  yet  reached  our  ears — the  solemn  moving 
undertone  of  life  coming  up  out  of  the  mines  and  factories  and  out 
of  every  home  where  the  struggle  has  its  intimate  and  familiar  seat." 
The  prophet's  voice  rings  clear  from  the  lips  of  our  wisest  leaders 
today  as  with  Huxley  they  exclaim:  "What  profits  it  to  the  human 
Prometheus  that  he  has  stolen  the  fire  of  heaven  to  be  his  servant 
and  that  the  spirits  of  the  earth  and  air  obey  him,  if  the  vulture  of 
Pauperism  is  eternally  to  tear  his  vitals  and  keep  him  on  the  brink 
of  destruction?"  The  modern  seer,  eye  to  eye  with  Lord  Tennyson, 
echoes  his  burning  and  insistent  question: 

"Is  it  well  that  while  we  range  with  science,  glory  in  the  time, 
City  children  soak  and  blacken  soul  and  sense  in  City  slime? 
There  among  the  glooming  alleys  Progress  halts  on  palsied  feet, 
Crime  and  hunger  cast  our  maidens  by  the  thousand  on  the  street. 
There  the  master  scrimps  his  sempstress  of  her  daily  bread, 
There  a  single  sordid  attic  holds  the  living  and  the  dead. 
There  the  smouldering  fire  of  fever  creeps  across  the  rotten  floor, 
And  the  crowded  couch  of  incest  in  the  warrens  of  the  poor." 


32  AMHERST  COLLEGE  CLASS  BOOK 

Is  this  present  social  and  economic  order  right  and  just?  Is  it 
permanent;  or  is  it  to  be  discarded  as  feudalism  and  slavery  have 
been  discarded?  This  is  the  supreme  question  behind  and  under- 
neath the  changes  of  the  hour.  The  contrasts  of  life  grow  yearly 
more  marked.  The  chasm  of  social  and  economic  inequality  yawns 
like  a  bottomless  pit  to  swallow  up  our  boasted  democracy.  The 
rich  oppress  the  poor  and  the  poor  curse  the  rich.  Such  seem  to  be 
the  facts  and  on  the  lips  of  our  preachers  and  statesmen  and  econo- 
mists they  have  served  to  cause  disquietude. 

But  unrest  is  not  caused  solely  by  the  thinking  or  the  talking 
of  our  leaders.  All  over  the  land  the  spirit  of  the  masses  has  been 
kindled.  Labor  is  refusing  to  bear  in  silence  the  burdens  that  keep 
growing  heavier.  The  time  for  half-way  measures,  for  compromises 
and  make-shifts,  for  quibblings  and  shams  is  gone.  The  haggard, 
shame-faced  social  scheme  of  the  survival  of  the  fittest  is  doomed ; 
heartless  economic  determinism  is  discredited ;  individualism  in  unlim- 
ited competition  is  damned.  And  labor  is  trying  to  tell  capital  that 
this  is  so. 

Following  the  example  of  capital,  labor  is  organized,  articulated, 
animated.  Our  history  in  years  to  come  will  be  the  story  of  the 
mighty  contest  between  these  two  factions;  our  future  state  will 
combine  the  powers  of  both ;  our  future  ideals  of  democracy  will  be 
the  product  of  their  common  aims. 

The  struggle  is  on.  News  comes  daily  from  the  battle  line — 
now  a  strike,  now  a  legislative  battle,  laws  made  and  laws  broken,  boy- 
cotts, dynamitings,  mob-uprisings,  and  here  and  there  a  veritable 
reign  of  terror  when  a  tremor  of  fear  and  apprehension  chills  every 
heart. 

Confusion  and  doubt,  passion  and  prejudice  in  all  these  conflicts 
dim  and  obscure  our  vision  of  the  real  cause  at  stake.  The  battle 
is  not  for  laws  and  privileges,  for  documents  and  dollars.  It  is  a 
spiritual  warfare,  not  against  flesh  and  blood,  but  against  principali- 
ties and  powers  of  conventional  and  institutional  wrong  and  oppres- 
sion;  it  is  civilization  against  tyranny;  once  again,  as  at  Gettysburg 
and  Bull  Run,  it  is  freedom  against  slavery!  We  must  not  judge 
the  struggle  by  its  most  extreme  manifestations.  It  is  perfectly  true 
that  the  violence  of  bomb-throwing  strikers,  no  less  than  the  grim 
menace  of  protected  monopoly  is  like  the  yell  of  pirates  against  the 


NINETEEN    HUNDRED   AND   THIRTEEN  33 

Declaration  of   Independence,  the  war  cry  of  true  patriotism  must 
be  the  echo  of  that  sublime  pledge. 

But  what,  you  ask,  is  our  relation  to  all  this?  Let  us  see.  The 
college  is  the  training  camp  of  the  future.  Today  we  are  students, 
tomorrowT  social  and  industrial  workers  or  leaders.  If  we  will  but 
take  it,  we  can  have  the  leadership  in  this  great  conflict.  And  the 
world  looks  to  us  to  take  that  leadership.  Into  our  hands  will  come 
that  defense  of  liberty  and  equality  for  which  Washington  fought 
and  Lincoln  died.  What  are  we  doing  now  to  prepare  for  this 
solemn  responsibility?  How  much  reflection  and  study  do  we  give, 
how  much  of  our  time,  interests  or  energy  do  we  dedicate  to  this 
cause? 

And  yet  when  college  is  over  and  we  plunge  into  the  actual  strug- 
gle of  life  how  much  time  shall  we  have  for  deliberation  and  careful 
critical  thinking?  When  soon  our  own  business  and  domestic  prob- 
lems loom  before  us,  how  clearly  do  you  think  we  can  see  the  larger 
facts  in  our  nation's  life?  When  our  days  are  overfull  of  work  and 
our  nights  all  too  short  for  needed  rest,  how  are  we  to  be  capable 
of  sustained  calculating  unprejudiced  judgment?  We  have  a 
remarkably  fine  perspective  as  we  stand  upon  these  hill  tops  in  the 
morning  light!  This  is  the  time  for  us  to  plan,  to  ponder  and  decide: 
now  we  have  youths'  enthusiasms,  fresh  hopes  and  high  ambitions, 
generous  ambitions  and  impressionable  minds.  Now  is  the  accepted 
time  for  us  to  make  our  supreme  decision — not  primarily  for  life's 
work  but  of  life's  attitudes;  to  get  our  "Weltanschauung,"  our  view 
of  the  world,  upon  which  to  base  future  thought  and  action. 

And  yet  what  is  the  common  answer  to  any  such  appeal?  And 
wThat  is  the  common  standard  in  the  mind  of  many  a  college  Senior 
who  is  casting  about  for  future  employment?  What  but  dollars 
and  cents?  It  is  an  insult  to  patriotism  and  a  working  of  ideals 
when  the  American  student  asks  first  about  any  life  work — "How 
much  does  it  pay?  How  much  can  I  get?"  Get!  He  can  get  what 
he  gives  and  if  he  gives  his  immortal  soul  the  world  will  pay  it  back 
to  him  in  dollars  and  cents.  But  wThen  "men's  hearts  wait  upon  us; 
men's  lives  hang  in  the  balance ;  when  men's  hopes  call  upon  us  to 
say  what  we  shall  do"  who  dares  answer  "I  will  make  money,  I  will 
get  power  and  influence,  respectability  and  luxury,  social  standing 
and  ease."  Yet  back  of  man's  choice  lies  no  greater,  no  higher 
motive. 


34  AMHERST  COLLEGE  CLASS  BOOK 

Ten  to  one  the  man  who  makes  that  choice  laughs  at  the  church, 
a  destructive  critic,  an  ignorant  judge,  a  lagging  helper;  looks  at  the 
teacher  and  on  the  schools  with  scornful  pity;  raises  his  eyebrows 
at  honest  lawyers;  cares  nothing  about  "dagos  and  wops";  sees  only 
menace  in  labor  unions,  nonsense  in  socialism  and  pathetic  innocence 
in  the  golden-rule  business-man.  What  does  he  care  that  55,000 
human  lives  are  the  toll  of  modern  industry  in  a  single  year!  What 
if  annually  2,000,000  poor  human  bodies  are  battered  and  maimed 
by  the  iron  wheels  of  progress!  If  millions  of  men  must  work  four- 
teen hours  a  day  and  seven  days  a  week  he  cannot  see  that  he  is  in 
any  way  affected.  If  iron  hands  are  closing  the  doors  of  higher 
opportunity  to  the  masses  and  government  is  vested  in  the  privileged 
few  and  the  favored  many,  does  anything  follow  for  him  but  to 
thank  God  he  is  not  of  the  masses? 

You  do  not  need  your  imagination  to  find  a  man  who  holds 
such  views.  He  is  to  be  found  in  every  class-room,  every  dormitory, 
every  fraternity  house.  He  is  a  good  fellow,  personally  likable,  rea- 
sonable, well-disposed,  clean-minded  and  sincere,  lukewarm,  to  be 
sure,  but  by  no  means  dead.  A  natural  product  of  his  time,  he  is 
blind  from  birth  to  many  of  the  vital  facts  of  life,  constitutionally 
opposed  to  deep  thinking,  too  comfortable  to  be  very  active,  too  happy 
to  be  alarmed  by  anything  not  obviously  personal  and  immediate. 

Such  men,  my  classmates,  are  the  curse  of  our  time;  a  worse 
obstacle  to  progress  than  pauperism ;  more  dangerous  than  the  cor- 
rupt politician ;  more  numerous  than  the  grafters ;  sinners  by  omis- 
sion and  criminals  by  negligence.  We  have  laws  to  punish  the  care- 
lessness of  those  responsible  for  the  laborer's  body;  but  how  ought 
we  to  deal  with  the  neglect  of  intellectual  leaders  responsible  for 
his  mind !  What  shall  we  say  of  the  American  college  man  who 
plans  his  future  regardless  of  the  needs  of  his  country,  the  cause  of 
humanity,  and  the  Avill  of  God. 

What  the  age  needs  is  that  man  who  goes  into  business  or  any 
other  calling  primarily  to  serve  his  fellows,  not  to  be  served  by  them. 
The  call  to  us — the  class  of  1913 — is  for  a  real  consecration  to  the 
ideals  of  justice  and  of  service;  for  the  Old  and  New  Testament 
clothed  in  human  mind  and  heart. 

Plainly  then  it  is  our  duty  to  think  of  such  things  more  now. 
If  we  do  not  we  never  shall — until  shocked  by  some  bitter  experience 


NINETEEN    HUNDRED   AND   THIRTEEN  35 

of  life.  We  have  been  chosen  and  set  apart  for  this  cause:  that  we 
may  carry  the  standards  and  lead  the  forces  of  humanity  in  the  new 
struggle  for  liberty.  The  way  will  open ;  our  path  will  be  made 
plain,  that  we  can  believe  if,  setting  our  faces  steadfastly  toward  the 
new  day,  we  strive  to  bring  into  the  world  a  new  and  better  human 
brotherhood,  a  truer  democracy,  a  more  universal  and  lasting  peace. 
Heeding  the  call  of  God  in  our  souls,  let  us  here  highly  resolve  to 
consecrate  ourselves  anew  to  the  welfare  of  mankind  in  whom  He 
dwells.  It  is  not  for  us  to  boast  and  dream  of  selfish  triumph;  it  is 
ours  to  pray  and  dedicate.  It  is  not  for  us  to  seek  goods,  but  good ; 
not  to  be  ministered  unto  but  to  minister.  If  we  do  these  things  we 
can  be  sure  that  by  our  having  lived  the  world  is  brought  a  little 
nearer  to  "that  far  off  divine  event  toward  which  the  whole  creation 
moves."

Harry  is  the  kind  of  man  that 
does  not  confine  his  efforts  to  one 
activity,  but  goes  out  to  gain  and 
give  benefit  in  as  many  lines  as 
possible.  He  has  had  his  shoulder 
behind  the  1913  wheel  in  Football, 
Baseball,  Basketball  and  Track, 
and  after  four  years  of  toil  on  the 
Varsity  squad  has  deservedly  won 
his  "A."  He  was  also  a  member  of 
the  Christian  Association  star 
chamber  and  is  a  veteran  of  three 
years  tinkling  on  the  mandolin

Hub  is  one  of  the  few  men  in 
the  class  who  really  know  anything 
about  the  "encircling  hills"  of  Am- 
herst. In  pursuit  of  beast  and  bird 
he  is  a  familiar  figure  as  a  hunter 
in  company  with  Loomis  and 
Morse.  Senior  year  he  imported  a 
car  from  his  native  town,  and  the 
last  part  of  his  college  course  was 
punctuated  by  night  and  day  auto 
trips.  For  four  years  Hub  chant- 
ed hymns  to  us  from  behind  the 
pulpit,  and  for  the  last  two  his 
sonorous  basso  helped  to  round  out 
the  Glee  Club  singing.  He  has 
shown  a  habitual  weakness  for  Sun- 
day night  trips  over  the  Notch,  and 
report  has  it  that  he  is  invariably 
successful  in  that  line.  Hub  is  of 
the  slow  and  sure  variety,  the  sort 
that  gets  what  he  is  after  in  the 
right  way.

No,  gentlemen,  this  is  not  a  bear, 
but  only  our  Jeff.  Beneath  that 
rugged  exterior  is  the  best-humored 
funniest,  wittiest  man  God  almost 
ever  made.  Jeff  wouldn't  let  you 
say  so  though,  because  another  of 
his  virtues  is  sincere  modesty.  Jeff 
came  to  us  Junior  year  from 
Columbia,  and  it  was  not  long  be- 
fore his  rolling  style  of  navigation 
and  his  varied  line  of  stories  became 
well  known  around  college.  He 
has  been  a  strong  friend  to  many  of 
us,  and  those  who  knew  him  well 
were  not  surprised  when  he  con- 
nected with  cum  laude  honors  at 
commencement  time.  A  keen  de- 
light in  adventure,  an  equally  keen 
brain  and  a  strong  determination 
leave  us  guessing  as  to  where  Jeff 
will  end  up  on  this  terrestrial  ball. 
From  present  indications  it  will  be 
on  one  of  the  high  places.

him  as  square  in  his  dealings  as  his

of  "stick-to-it-iveness"  and  loyalty

If  we  had  taken  a  vote  as  to  the 
truest  gentleman  among  us  Frank 
would  have  been  unanimously  elect- 
ed. We  did  vote  him  the  most 
good-natured  man,  but  that  is  only 
part  of  it.  He  has  a  capacity  for 
humor  and  sympathy  which  has 
made  him  the  friend  of  every  man 
in  the  class  and  most  in  college. 
Frank  has  worked  hard  for  the 
class  and  college  both  on  our  swim- 
ming teams  and  as  our  cheer  leader. 
It  was  in  the  latter  position  that  he 
was  best  known  senior  year,  and 
some  of  us  learned  a  thing  or  two 
about  courtesy  to  opposing  teams 
when  Frank  was  in  command  of 
the  bleachers  on  Pratt  field. 
Thoughtfulness  for  others  and  a 
habit  of  forgetting  himself  in  all 
his  acts  should  win  him  success  in 
his  career  as  a  physician.

first  infested  the  classic  shades  with

social  committees  as  would  nat-

a  long,  arduous  chase  of  pop  flies, 
plain  flies  and  mere  highballs, 
Monte  became  manager  of  Steve's

began  a  sizable  collection  of  Ibsen,

sipped  the  cool  Falernian  and  dis-

finally  he  proved  himself  worthy  of

himself.  If  he  continues  to  clear

he  developed  in  college  he'll  get

KENNETH  BURWELL  BECKWITH  $A® 

The  camera  man  has  favored 
most  of  us,  but  this  picture  really 
doesn't  give  Beck  his  full  due.  He 
is  better  looking  than  that  and 
has  always  been  considered  among 
the  "ornamental"  members  of 
1 9 1 3.  Ken  has  been  useful,  too. 
Freshman  year  he  played  good 
ball  on  the  1913  baseball  team 
and  during  the  last  two  years  he 
has  worked  on  the  Varsity  squad. 
Beck  also  had  a  pretty  good  voice, 
which,  combined  with  ability  to 
play  the  traps,  made  him  an  addi- 
tion to  the  musical  clubs  at  va- 
rious stages  of  his  college  course. 
Membership  in  the  Cotillion  club, 
artistic  dancing,  and  the  ability  to 
room  for  two  years  with  George 
Stone  without  becoming  either  a  highbrow  or  an  iconoclast  are 
other  achievements  of  Beck's  career  at  Amherst.

Horace  never  works — at  least  no

From  his  famous  poetic  namesake 
Beldie  inherits  a  few  choice  habits. 
It  has  not  been  discovered  whether 
the  former  used  perfumed  soaps, 
but  tastes  in  rich  viands  and  Epicu- 
rean waters  are  common  to  both. 
And  besides  all  this  Hod  consumes 
vast  quantities  of  poetry,  though 
not  in  the  Latin  to  be  sure.  In  oc- 
casional spells  of  activity  this  lisp- 
ing product  of  the  Buckeye  state 
found  time  to  grace  the  Sophomore 
and  Senior  Hop  committees.  He 
has  a  quiet  sense  of  humor  that  fits 
in  well  with  his  drawling  delivery 
and  languishing  gait.

"Ain't  he  just  the  grandest

on  his  way;  he  has  no  use  for  girls 
at  all.  Furthermore  he  has  led 
the  life  of  a  comparative  saint  in 
spite  of  obstacles  such  as  rooming 
for  three  years  with  Connolly  and 
Tilden.  Scholastically  Benie  had 
his  little  ups  and  downs,  one  of 
Shorty's  Botany  courses  being  the 
cause  of  a  particularly  memorable 
downfall ;  but  Benie  fooled  them  in 
the  end.  On  the  smooth,  glistening 
surface  of  Pratt  rink  he  was  at  his 
best,  however,  and  many  an  attack- 
ing forward  line  found  that  Benie's 
"powerful  build"  was  not  all  news- 
paper talk.  Ere  leaving  this  hand- 
some man  we  must  also  note  his 
get-there  spirit  and  his  genial 
smile,  attributes  which  should  help 
him  to  encounter  the  exigencies  of 
the   future  with   success.

ARTHUR   HAZARD    BOND   X<f> 


Behold  the  human  dynamo. 
Bondy  is  not  satisfied  with  the 
amount  one  can  learn  in  Amherst. 
Each  summer  he  finds  pleasure  in 
passing  off  advanced  courses  at 
M.  I.  T.  Bondy  is  as  systematic  as 
a  machine,  turns  out  the  lesson 
each  day,  oils  up  his  slide  rule,  and 
gets  ready  for  tomorrow.  This 
was  not  enough  for  a  day's  work, 
however.  Arthur  found  time  to 
manage  the  Musical  clubs  and  at- 
tend swimming  practice  regularly. 
He  was  often  at  a  loss  for  amuse- 
ment when  he  found  himself  a 
week  ahead  in  his  work,  dates  for 
concerts  straightened  out  and  no 
practice  to  attend.  But  alas  he  has 
a  weakness — a  strange  aversion  for 
the  opposite  sex.  We  hand  it  to 
Arthur  for  his  ability  in  the  class 
room,  business  ability,  and  for  being 
besides  a  good  fellow.

ger in  the  enchanted  isles  for  the 
fourth  and  best  year  of  our  course, 
but  we  appreciated  him  while  he 
was  at  Amherst.  Brownie  was 
always  a  sticker.  Besides  staying 
with  six  or  more  courses  each 
semester  until  Shorty  had  to  hand 
out  the  coveted  sheepskin  ahead 
of  time,  Brownie  stayed  with  the 
football  squad  as  end  and  quarter 
until  the  fall  of  Junior  year,  when 
he  got  a  crack  that  put  him  out  of 
the  game  for  good.  He  was  al- 
ways a  good  fellow,  quiet  and  sin- 
cere, and  we  wish  him  luck.

Browny,  Pug 


"In  case  of  doubt  look  wise  and

and  Browny  says,  "Do  it  anyway." 
From  that  massive  hat-rack  has 
come  forth  action  that  bespeaks 
much  serious  thought.  Any  man 
who  can  collect  class  dues  for  two 
years,  do  it  without  much  discourse 
and  not  get  in  wrong  is  a  genius. 
Perseverance  is  his  middle  name.  It 
has  characterized  his  efforts  in  the 
class-room,  his  work  for  19 13,  and 
his  work  for  the  college.  Four 
years'  hard  work  on  the  football 
squad  won  him  his  "A."  We're 
glad  he  got  it.  As  our  class  mar-

Burnsie  was  one  of  the  quietest

recommendation  to  hand  a  man 
for  a  starter.  But  Burnsie  has 
got  it  coming  to  him  and  more  too. 
Any  man  who  can  go  through  col-

sie did,  and  make  his  own  way 
absolutely  unassisted  by  passing  on 
pearls  of  knowledge  to  the  youth 
of  the  high  schools  of  the  sur- 
rounding country,  has  a  bow  com- 
ing from  1913.  Besides  doing  a 
lot  of  work  Burnsie  was  always  a 
good  friend  and  a  genial  com-

Words  cannot  do  justice  to  the 
Doctor.  Caddie  is  a  large-footed, 
Cyrano-like,  extremely  humorous

never  has  so  much  to  do  that  he 
cannot  sit  and  talk  or  play  a  few

on  both  sides  of  the  pond,  his  boy- 
ish love  of  fun,  his  copious  intellect, 
his  big  heart  and  genial  smile  make 
everyone  his  friend,  and  that  Am-

Caddie  cackle  doesn't  know  what  a 
real  laugh  sounds  like.  There  are 
big  things  ahead  of  Les  if  he  ap-

Van  was  our  first  choregus,  ap-

19 1 2  on  the  first  Saturday  of  our 
college  course.  His  success  was  so 
startling  that  he  was  never  re- 
elected. He  has  always  been  iden- 
tifying himself  with  some  such  for- 
lorn hope  and  often  with  much 
solider  success.  He  has  written 
poetry  for  the  Monthly,  managed 
the  Four  Leaf  Clover,  exercised  for 
the  Heavy  Gym  Team  and  taken 
Utter's  English  courses.  Men  of 
forceful  opinions  and  unusual  pur- 
poses are  rarely  appreciated  at  full 
value  in  a  small  college,  and  per- 
haps Van  has  been  one  of  these 
men.  We  have  found  good  nature, 
determination  and  "pep"  in  his 
make-up,  and  believe  he  will  come 
out  on  the  top  of  the  pile.

CHAUNCEY  PAUL  CARTER  AY 


Chaunce  is  another  of  the  boys 
who  slipped  one  over  on  us  by 
graduating  in  three  years.  It  takes 
brains  and  hard  work  to  get 
through  Amherst  in  three  years — 
we're  not  saying  what  it  takes  to 
get  by  in  four  with.  But  besides 
putting  away  the  courses  Chaunce 
did  several  other  things  that  went 
to  make  1913's  reputation  at  the 
college.  In  the  first  place  he  did 
some  of  the  speediest  swimming 
that  has  ever  been  pulled  off  in 
Pratt  natatorium,  and  was  elected 
captain  of  the  swimmers  at  the 
end  of  Freshman  year  in  conse- 
quence. Chaunce  certainly  could 
tear  through  the  water.  Then  in 
the  second  place  he  ran  one  of  the 
very  finest  Junior  proms  that  was 
ever  held  at  the  college  and  one  which  will  long  be  remembered 
by  us.  In  the  process  he  demonstrated  that  he  was  a  good  busi- 
ness man  and  we  look  to  see  this  ability  land  him  among  the  191 3 
millionaire's  club  (yet  to  be  formed).

GEORGE  EWING  CLAPP 

What  can  a  Class  Book  say 
about  a  quiet,  retiring  man  of  this 
sort?  We  have  seen  George  in 
regular  attendance  at  chapel  and  at 
class  and  now  and  again  at  the 
swimming  pool,  but  have  not  got- 
ten as  well  acquainted  with  him 
as  we  ought.  By  residing  in  Hamp 
with  several  fair  relatives  not  far 
away  he  has  had  it  on  most  of  us 
in  that  direction.  George  started 
out  with  19 1 2  but  decided  to  grad- 
uate with  a  good  class,  and  we  con- 
gratulate him  on  his  sagacity  and 
judgment.

Jack.  John 


Class  basketball  for  four  years 
has  borne  evidence  of  Jack's  energy. 
The  Student  for  a  time,  and  the 
Sophomore  and  Senior  Hop  Com- 
nittees,  have  engaged  him  otherwise 
in  college.  Furthermore  he  has 
shown  his  metal  as  a  scholar.  We 
feel  that  he  might  hnve  done  more 
had  he  tried  and  agree  that  in  life 
he  will  be  successful.  Confident, 
tactful  and  optimistic,  John's  smile 
has  won  him  a  welcome  in  the 
class.  May  the  Good  Cheer  fol- 
low him  all  his  life  through. 


SAMUEL   HENRY   COBB   X<£> 


Here  is  a  man  with  an  exterior 
that  would  grace  any  presidency 
except  that  of  the  Morris  Chair 
Athletic  Association — for  inactivity 
is  his  soul's  abhorrence.  Samuel  is 
more  or  less  of  a  model  youth,  and 
is  always  in  disgustingly  good  con- 
dition. He  loped  away  with  the 
interclass  cross-country  prize  for 
three  years,  and  then  with  the  in- 
stincts of  a  gentleman  stepped  out 
Senior  year  to  give  somebody  else  a 
chance.  The  captaincy  of  the 
Track  Team  was  a  fitting  culmina- 
tion to  Sam's  four  years  of  hard, 
conscientious  and  successful  en- 
deavor on  the  field.  We  make  bold 
to  assert  that  Sam  has  gotten  as 
Sammy,  Sam  much  out  of  college  as  any  man  in 

the  class,  if  not  more — for  he  has  learned  method.  It  makes  us  sick 
at  heart  to  see  the  order,  arrangement,  and  perfect  routine  of  his 
behaviour.  And  he  works — none  harder.  Sam  belongs  to  the  lead- 
ing lights  of  the  college  by  virtue  of  a  Scarab  hat.  A  Cotilion  Club 
pin  graces  his  manly  chest.  Above  all,  his  flashing  smile  has  won  him 
friends  abroad  and  at  home.  We  don't  worry  about  Sammy,  and  our 
respect  r.nd  regard  for  him  are  sincere.

FRANK  SAMUEL  COLLINS  B@n 


Collins  is  big  business  and  sys- 
tem on  spindle  shanks  that  look  as 
though  they'd  cave  in  at  any  mo- 
ment. "Animated  coat  rack"  is  a 
good  name  for  Frank's  mortal 
frame,  and  its  capacity  for  sliding 
through  the  water  in  submarine 
fashion  has  brought  him  the  Am- 
herst record  for  the  plunge,  and 
a  goodly  number  of  points  for  the 
college  as  well.  After  proving  his 
business  ability  as  football  man- 
ager, Frank  turned  his  attention  to 
the  literary  side  of  life,  which  with 
his  athletic  proclivities  goes  to 
show  that  he  is  pretty  much  of  an 
all-round  man.  He  works  hard 
for  what  he  gets  and  he  has  gotten 
some  pretty  good  things,  which  he 
is  going  to  use  in  helping  Daddie 
Collins  in  the  lumber  business  next   year

BARTHOLOMEW   JOSEPH 

Bart  has  been  a  pretty  good- 
sized  man  around  Amherst  and  has 
done  a  lot  for  the  college  in  one 
capacity  or  another.  He  has  been 
about  everything  from  Captain  of 
the  Football  team  and  Scarab  to 
President  of  the  Sphinx  Club  and 
left  field  on  the  Psi  U  baseball 
team.  When  Bart  can  persuade 
his  feet  from  the  railing  of  the 
front  porch  he  goes  after  things 
hard.  He  can  negotiate  a  Bib. 
Lit.  theme  or  run  a  "440" — and 
do  both  in  record  time.  He  has 
worked  hard  for  Amherst  on  field, 
track  and  Athletic  Board,  and  he's 
been  a  good  friend.  From  our 
knowledge  of  him  he  won't  have 
to  follow  his  interference  in  the 
business  world  very  long,  and  when 
he  does  get  a  clear  field,  it  will  be 
good-bye  Bart.

Look  out  for  this  man!  He's 
dangerous.  He's  one  of  our  silent

He  knows  all  that  Doc  Newport, 
Mr.  Nelligan  and  Tug  Kennedy 
can  teach  him,  and  when  he  shoots 
those  mits  across,  better  step  lively. 
He  has  helped  us  win  in  cross- 
country for  two  years,  for  another 
thing.  Besides  being  an  athlete, 
Tom  is  something  of  a  student. 
Freshman  year  he  took  the  Hygiene 
Prize  that  Cadman  didn't;  and  has 
kept  hard  after  the  books  ever  since 
Tom  has  shown  lots  of  good  spirit, 
and  we  wish  we  could  have  known 
him  better.  He  is  one  of  those

has  offered  him  no  incentive  to 
work,  this  reformation  has  shown 
us  what  Walt  can  do  if  he  thinks 
it  worth  doing.  He  would  have 
graduated  in  three  years  if  the

consistent  fussing  and  dancing.

to  be  a  lawyer,  and  has  advanced 
toward  this  goal  ever  since.  He 
lent  his  musical  ability  to  the  man-

honors  were  but  vanity,  he  has  since

opment of  his  natural  cleverness  in 
writing  short  stories  and  poetry,

"Where  the  river  Shannon

is  to  be  sung  slowly  with  a  great 
deal  of  feeling,  and  in  any  key 
which  happens  to  suggest  itself. 
Don't  disparage  the  Emerald  Isle 
in  Frank's  presence  or  be  prepared 
to  take  the  consequences.  Be  equal- 
ly careful  to  cast  no  slur  on  Holy- 
ke,  Massachusetts.  "I  know  the 
city  well,  sir,  and  while  it  has  cer- 
tain disadvantages  it  is  the  greatest 
city  on  earth."  Frank  came  here 
from  Holy  Cross  as  a  Sophomore. 
He  ran  in  the  cross-country  one 
year  and  placed  for  19 13  in  the 
S.  H.  Williams  Meet.  Gillie  was 
after  an  education  and  he  worked

What,  an  athlete?  Yes,  Mad-

farther  than  any  man  in  college. 
That's  why  they  elected  him  Edi- 
tor-in-chief of  the  Amherst  Stu- 
dent. He  was  a  good  man  for  the 
job,  too.  Anyone  who  can  send 
one  of  the  brothers  up  to  answer 
for  him  in  class  in  order  that  he 
may  write  an  editorial  against 
that  infamous  practice  is  a  genius 
and  has  our  hearty  approval.  We 
are  also  forced  to  admit  that  there 
were  brains  behind  some  of  those 
editorials  and  not  a  little  wit  on 
occasion.  Glen's  old  team-mate, 
Richards,  was  responsible  for 
much  of  the  latter,  but  BeeVee 
would  have  his  little  joke,  too. 
And    who    was    it    whose    fertile 

brain  was  behind  the  weighty  (?)  decisions  of  Scarab?  Who,  after 
long  and  profitless  debate  between  Leiper,  Stilwell  and  Merrill  with 
occasional  sarcastic  utterance  from  Richards,  rose,  cigar  in  hand,  and 
smacked  the  elusive  nail  squarely  on  the  head,  with  a  deftness  that 
would  have  won  commendation  from  Prexy  himself?  Well,  all 
this  was  our  BeeVee.

College  to  our  German  Prince 
was  a  pretty  continuous  battle  from

Amherst  down  on  Pratt  field,  and 
when  spring  came  around  he  wras 
on  hand  working  to  get  his  190 
pounds  of  brawn  behind  hammer, 
shot  and  discus  in  proper  form. 
And  all  the  time  Fritz  was  battling 
to  keep  himself  in  college  scholasti- 
cally  and  financially.  Always 
smiling,  he  has  a  combination  of 
good  nature  and  determination 
which  nothing  can  down.  He  is 
known  and  respected  by  every 
member  of  the  faculty — more  than 
most  of  us  can  say.  We're  as  proud

enough  to  protest.  He  has  since 
tried  to  overcome  the  handicap  by 
working  loyally  on  the  class  hockey

things  he  is  a  bad  man  in  a  rough- 
and-tumble,  writes  busily  for  The 
Union,  and  fusses.  In  fact  he  waxes 
eloquent  on  the  last,  advocating  it 
for  its  beneficent  effects  on  one

trary to  the  usual  German  custom, 
never  drinks,  smokes  only  after

Hoppy 


A  few  of  the  boys  learned  to 
appreciate  Hoppy  freshman  year 
but  most  of  us  didn't  get  really 
acquainted  with  him  until  later 
on.  We  knew  he  was  a  wizard  at 
mathematics  and  mechanical  draw- 
ing, but  he  drew  his  conclusions  in 
both  lines  with  too  much  speed  for 
us  to  follow  comfortably,  despite 
his  constant  readiness  to  help  us 
out.  In  due  time  the  Math  pro- 
fessors discovered  that  he  was  es- 
sential to  their  welfare  and  happi- 
ness as  an  expert  draftsman,  and, 
when  Hoppy  had  an  attack  of 
appendicitis  his  absence  nearly 
broke  up  house-keeping  in  that  de- 
partment for  two  months  last  fall. 
Hoppy  saw  the  empty  vanity  in 
college  honors  and  is  one  of  the

500  B.  C.  probably  had  Bob's 
measurements  in  mind ;  except  that 
his  mathematics  were  bad,  for  our 
subject  had  it  on  the  original  statue. 
He  is  just  so  handsome  that  we 
wonder  how  he  kept  away  from 
Smith  so  long.  He  will  make  a 
capital  catch  for  some  enterprising 
girl :  he  has  been  thoroughly  wash 
ed  in  the  swimming  tank  for  four 
years,  and  his  upper  works  have 
been  sharpened  by  work  on  the 
Olio.  There  is  a  certain  compan- 
ionship and  generosity  about  Bob 
that  makes  him  ever  welcome.  We 
feel  sure  of  success  for  him  and 
better  shoes  for  us.

CHARLES  LINDSLEY  JOHNSTON  AY 


"Say,  mister,  hand  me  down  a 
match?"  It  is  not  right  to  take 
advantage  of  a  man's  physical  ad- 
vantages ;  but  really  when  you  com- 
bine six  odd  feet  of  height  with  pro- 
portion and  beauty — can  you 
wonder  the  girls  all  fell  for  Charley 
during  his  stay  at  Amherst?  The 
rest  of  us  hadn't  a  chance.  There 
was  another  reason.  You  see,  he 
got  his  picture  in  the  papers  for 
three  years  as  captain  of  the  tennis 
team  and  winner  of  the  New  Eng- 
land intercollegiate  championship. 
Quite  a  lot  of  advertising  for  an 
ordinary  man  to  buck  up  against. 
But  best  of  all  Charles  has  ever 
been  one  of  us  in  all  his  prosperity. 
We  have  sung  and  danced  and — 
and — smoked  with  him.  He  carries 
a  head  that  ought  to  bring  him 
success  in  the  broker  business.

Johnny,    Jack 


Johnny  has  two  vices:  an  inclin- 
ation towards  dances  and  the  politer 
society;  and  a  damnable  pertinacity 
in  getting  the  rest  of  us  to  work  on 
this  little  exhibition  of  our  literary 
and  honeyed  powers.  For  the  rest, 
his  Pompeian  complexion  bears 
ample  testimony  to  his  utter  absti- 
nence. There  is  a  certain  bouyant 
quality  in  the  air  of  his  native  state 
that  accounts  for  his  activity  in 
hockey  and  track.  Furthermore,  the 
pages  of  that  upright  sheet,  The 
Springfield  Republican,  have  been 
enlivened  by  his  ebullient  and  cohe- 
rent accounts  of  our  athletic  vic- 
tories— John  makes  the  stories  of 
our  defeats  short.  We,  who  have 
been  harassed  by  his  above-mention- 
ed  efforts   to   make  us  work,   feel 


constrained   to  admit  that   his  tenacity  and   ability  bid   fair  to  land 
him    from   his   farm   to — well    the    U.  S.  Senate,  at  least. 


JOHN   HENRY  KLINGENFELDT  SAP 


Kling  had  to  make  a  long  hard 
fight  to  stay  with  the  class,  and  he 
deserves  a  lot  of  credit  for  it.  He 
showed  the  right  kind  of  stuff  and 
has  finally  come  out  on  top.  For 
all  this  he  found  time  to  make  the 
Dramatics  cast  Senior  year.  In 
years  past  he  has  taken  part  in 
matters  of  Debating  and  Oratory 
and  has  been  on  the  Kellogg  Five. 
Cross  country  running  was  his 
chief  athletic  interest.  All  of  Kling's 
undertakings  are  characterised  by 
an  abundance  of  contagious  pep 
and  determination.  He  has  been  a 
good  friend  and  a  good  man  to 
have  in  the  class,  and  we  wish  him 
all  kinds  of  good  luck.

Hersh  here  is  one  of  the  prettiest 
skaters  that  ever  took  wing  on  ice. 
Paradise  used  to  be  his  favorite 
winter  hang-out,  but  they  do  say 
that  he  is  inclined  to  other  ponds 
these  days,  especially  beyond  the 
Notch.  He  has  a  striking  counte- 
nance that  wTould  have  done  credit 
to  Michael  Angelo  ("why  not") 
and  is  a  very  impressive  speaker. 
We  are  glad  that  this  tall  Chica- 
goan  left  the  University  of  Michi- 
gan to  come  to  Amherst  three  years 
ago,  and  wish  he  had  done  it  sooner. 
Something  tells  us  that  Hersh  is 
going  to  make  trouble  for  Merrill 
and  the  other  boys  who  think  they 
have  the  class  cup  cinched.  A  good 
business  head  makes  his  chances  for 
early  nuptials  better  than  for  the 
rest  of  us,  so  we  take  this  opportu-

He  made  us  a  Class  Oration  at

Ken  has  spent  his  four  years 
among  us,  ever  faithful  to  his  col-

ready  to  lend  a  helping  hand.  He 
was  among  the  leaders  of  the  19 13 
Cross-country  team  which  ran 
away  with  the  inter-class  champion- 
ship for  four  years  straight,  and  he 
was  a  member  of  the  varsity  cross-

represented  us  on  the  Glee  Club  for 
three  years,  where  his  jovial  spirit 
made  him  as  welcome  as  his  voice. 
Casey  was  another  of  the  boys  who

Hugh  has  proved  himself  an  effi-

Heavy  Gym  Team  through  its  most 
successful  season.  Furthermore  it 
is  due  to  his  care  that  as  Seniors

This  same  quality  has  made  him  a

We  hate  to  put  forth  anything 
about  this  man  but  the  only  chance 
we  have  is  to  write  it — we  never 
could  say  it.  One  of  the  many 
problems  that  troubles  the  gray 
matter  of  this  brainy  athlete  is  how 
tG  talk  and  eat  at  the  same  time — 
he  is  already  beginning  to  talk  and 
swim  simultaneously.  The  mere 
presence  of  another  individual  pre- 
cipitates a  discourse  on  the  minor 
topic  of  things  in  general.  The 
compass  of  that  shaggy  bean  of  his 
is  a  marvel.  Besides  this  remark- 
able co-ordination  of  mouth  and 
mind.  Dick  has  a  muscular  co- 
ordination that  has  made  him  a 
consistent  point-winner  in  the 
the  swimming  meets  and  captain  of 
the  team.  He  also  uses  his  pedals 
on  land  to  good  effect.  Dick  is  a  loyal  and  steady  worker,  of  whom 
the  class  is  proud,  and  on  whom  we  feel  we  can  depend.

Eli,  the  arch  enemy  of  gloom, 
first  made  himself  known  to  us  by 
his  help  in  the  defeat  of  the  1912 
baseball  team.  Since  then  he  has 
kept  us  entertained  by  the  anctics  of 
his  body  when  at  the  head  of  his 
heavy  gym  squad,  and  the  antics  of 
his  mind  at  class  smokers  and  in 
the  Senior  Chapel  play.  Eli  was 
so  afraid  that  we  would  think  that 
he  was  developing  his  body  at  the 
expense  of  his  head  that  he  walked 
away  with  a  Phi  Beta  Kappa  key 
and  other  honors  just  to  protect  his 
reputation.  Next  year  he  will  have 
the  difficult  job  of  injecting  life 
into  the  Physical  Education  De-

he  has  saved  our  Chess  team  from

Can  you  wonder — oratorical 
pause,  gesture  with  right  hand — 
can  you  wonder  that  they  are  all 
just  crazy  to  know  that  "nice  Mr. 
Moore?"  Can't  you  see  the  rap- 
turous shivers  shyly  run  along 
their  spines !  The  reasons  are  sever- 
able and  obvious,  to  wit:  he  is 
handsome,  an  all-around  athlete,  a 
Track  Manager,  a  superb  dancer, 
a  wide-awake  business  man,  a  pun- 
ster of  delightful  charm — doubt, 
uncertainty,  being  in  the  minds  of 
his  admirers  the  delightfully  excit- 
ing thing  about  him.  But  serious- 
ly one  must  hand  the  palm  to  a 
person  who  finds  time  to  manage 
the  track  team,  run  and  play  foot- 
ball. We  wish  we  were  as  sure  of

good  man  to  have  around,  and  we 
weren't  the  only  ones  who  thought 
so  either.  Just  as  surely  as  the 
7.35  on  the  B.  &  M.  pulled  out 
for  Hamp,  as  surely  this  man 
Moore  was  to  be  found  in  the 
rear  coach  dressed  in  Campion's 
finest  and  looking  as  if  he  had 
just  stepped  out  of  Eph  Cosby's, 
a  white  carnation  and  a  satisfied 
smile  completing  the  picture.  No 
wonder  the  ladies  were  bound  to 
fall  and  place  their  automobiles  at 
his  disposal.  Walt  had  his  ups 
and  downs  on  both  sides  of  the 
river,  but  he  is  not  the  kind  you 
can  keep  down  for  long,  and  we 
look  to  see  him  on  the  top  of

The  tendency  to  quibble  as  to 
whether  "Phillip"  Morris  or

nomenclature  for  Bert  is  soon 
overcome  once  one  really  knows 
him  and  gets  under  the  surface 
atmosphere  which  won  for  him  the 
unanimous  vote  for  "best  bluffer." 
Bert  bluffs,  it  is  true,  but  with 
exceeding  skill  and  passable  suc- 
cess; yet  from  Bill's  to  the  Hamp 
car  would  be  a  long,  weary  jaunt 
without  his  ever  cheery  smile,  and 
genial  comments  on  life  in  general. 
The  swimming  team,  the  Dramatics

Newpy  is  unique  in  a  great  many

he  has  looked  upon  college  as  an

because  of  his  broadness,  sympathy 
and  his  diversity  of  interests.  He 
has  been  the  kind  of  Samaritan  that 
stopped  to  help  us  fix  our  punc- 
tures whether  we  were  running  a 
Pierce  or  a  second-hand  bicycle. 
Perhaps,  Newpy  is  most  unique  in 
that  he  thinks  he  has  not  made  a 
success  of  his  college  course.  Here 
none  of  us  agree  with  him.  With 
his  endowments  as  Orator  and

HAROLD  PHILIP  PARTENHEIMER  <DK* 

All  we  knew  of  Steve  freshman 
year  was  his  dubious  name  and  still 
more  dubious  complexion — that  is, 
until  spring  term.  Then  he  won 
his  nickname  from  old  "Breck" 
and  placed  himself  high  and  dry 
among  our  baseball  heroes.  We 
used  to  tell  him  to  "take  a  chance, 
Steve,"  and  for  four  years  at  the 
"dizzy  corner"  of  the  diamond  he 
took  them  with  rarely  a  miss.  Later 
he  proved  his  skill  at  mixing  odor- 
iferous chemical,  richly  perfumed 
hash,  and  still  more  aromatic 
humor.  In  fact  he  can  mix  up  any- 
thing except  drinks.  And  on  top 
of  this  he  retains  an  absolutely 
hopeless  good  humor,  even  after 
rooming  for  two  years  in  the  midst 
of  Stilwell's  aesthetic  efflorescences. 
Captain  of  the  baseball  team  and  Scarab  were  the  chief  honors  Steve 
collected  Senior  year.  Whatever  he  takes  up,  professional  baseball  or

cause  of  much  rejoicing  among  the

FREDERICK  RUSSELL  POPE  K® 


For  three  years  Rus  pursued  the 
"New  Idea"  of  introducing  study 
into  college  life.  He  even  liked  the 
idea  and  devoted  so  much  time  to 
the  intellectual  life  that  he  received 
enough  votes  to  make  him  class 
grind.  Rus  has  always  been  a  star 
at  speaking  and  Sophomore  year  he 
carried  off  the  Kellogg  prize.  The 
past  year  he  has  tried  to  lose  his 
rep  as  a  grind  and  he  has  hardly 
"cracked  a  book."  The  faculty 
have  presented  him  a  key  on  the 
merit  of  past  performances.

CLARK  MONROE   PRICE 

The  General,  although  a  bit  re- 
tiring, is  widely  known  as  an 
earnest  student  of  poetry,  and  an 
ardent  admirer  of  Browning.  As 
a  versifier  he  has  once  or  twice 
appeared  in  the  Monthly  and  he 
is  altogether  a  literary  man.  We 
think  that  it  was  this  that 
kept  him  from  continuing  his  good 
record  on  the  Track  team  and  on 
Sammy  Cobb's  Cross-country  team. 
He  preferred  to  let  his  talents  in 
those  lines  rest  and  to  develop  the 
intellectual  side.  Verily  the  "Am- 
herst Idea"  has  an  evil  influence 
on  our  athletes.  This  same  intel- 
lectual enthusiasm  has  led  him  to 
disseminate  learning  among  our 
Polish  neighbors  in  Hamp.  He 
deserves  much  credit  for  this  as 
well  as  for  his  pleasing  comrade- 
ship.

HERBERT  HAMMOND  PRIDE  SAP 

Herbie  is  our  one  safe  bet  in 
making  a  success  in  teaching  the 
youngsters.  He  and  Tappin  have, 
for  the  past  year,  with  Agard's 
co-operation,  managed  the  Amherst 
High  School  faculty  and  success- 
fully "managed  the  infants"  as 
Herbie  would  say.  But  this  our 
prodigy  is  not  only  the  proud 
wearer  of  a  Phi  Beta  Kappa  key — 
he  is  also  something  of  an  athlete. 
For  the  last  two  years  he  has  run 
on  the  winning  1913  cross-country 
team.  He  has  also  been  interested 
in  Christian  association  work  and 
is  on  the  Class  cup  committee. 
Herb  is  small  in  figure  but  has 
loads  of  "pep"  and  college  loyalty. 
As  he  goes  to  Williston  to  teach 
next  year  we  shall  expect  to  hear 
great  things  of  him.

HILLIARD  ALONZO  PROCTOR  X* 

Proc  made  himself  known  to  us 
freshman  year  while  heeling  for 
the  Student,  and  since  then  he  has 
been  a  faithful  member  of  the 
Board,  never  afraid  of  doing  more 
than  his  share.  Four  years  of  steady 
application  on  the  horse  have  made 
him  a  point  winner  on  our  Heavy 
Gym  team,  and  each  spring  has 
found  him  hard  at  work  on  the 
baseball  squad.  Biggy  is  sure  to 
miss  Proc's  French  horn  from  the 
orchestra,  and  Hersh  will  need  to 
hire  another  musician  for  his  col- 
lege band.  Proc's  good  humor  has 
caused  many  a  bankrupt  man  to 
shell  forth  his  last  simoleons  on  a 
laundry  bill.  Thus  far  he  has 
abstained  from  the  manly  vices  of 
smoking  and  swearing,  but  we  feel 
sure  that  time  will  show  him  the   use  of  these  things.

Yes,  gentlemen,  this  is  one  of 
the  few  good  things  that  ever  ori- 
ginated with  the  class  of  19 12. 
We  hesitated  about  allowing  this 
dark  haired  Apollo  to  enter  the 
annals  of  19 13,  but  finally  decided 
that  he  might  be  rather  an  orna- 
mental addition.  Perry  is  one  of 
these  men  that  the  girls  designate 
as  tall,  dark  and  handsome!  He 
is  a  firm  believer  in  the  conserva- 
tion of  energy  except  where  foot- 
ball and  baseball  are  concerned.

would  let  him  play  in  the  game

Jimmy  has  been  prominent  in

Basketball  teams  and  has  enjoyed 
reflected  athletic  glory  from  his 
association  with  Mike  Madden. 
Close  shaves  are  Jimmy's  special

Block  one  year  too  long,  and  his 
jinx  got  him  in  the  shape  of  a

worse  than  any  "Ould  Ireland"

started  out  with  19 12  but  who 
saw  the  error  of  his  ways  in  time

been  in  probably  more  scholastic 
difficulties  and  gotten  out  of  them 
again  than  any  man  in  the  class 
or  in  1 9 12  for  that  matter.  He 
is  an  artist  at  playing  the  mando-

"I'm  a  bold  bad  man  and  a  des-

look  at  him,  would  you  ?  No ;

of  Tip  and  Herr  Professor  Umlaut

lities and  characteristics  to  boast 
of.  For  four  years  he  has  been  out 
for  catcher  on  the  baseball  team, 
but  until  this  year  he  has  not  had 
a  chance  to  show  what  he  could  do

As  a  linguist  he  has  made  a  name 
for  himself,  and  he  carried  off 
honors  in  the  1911-12  French  play. 
Em  was  one  of  the  unfortunate 
tenants  of  Hunt  Block  when 
it  burned  up  recently,  and  lost  all 
his  wordly  possessions,  including  a 
corn-cob  pipe,  which  he  prized

Muscle,  brawn,  boys'  clubs  and 
geology — these  are  a  few  of  the 
things  that  Smithie  was  noted  for 
in  college,  and  his  yodel — we're 
not  likely  to  forget  that  vocalistic 
idiosyncrasy  either.  Smithie  was 
pretty  husky  wThen  he  came  to  Am- 
herst, but  you  should  see  him  now. 
He's  probably  one  of  the  liveliest 
individuals  that  1913  turned  out; 
optimism  is  his  middle  name,  and 
overflowing  good  spirits  another 
salient  feature.  Smithie  has  a  fac- 
ulty for  managing  boys  of  any  age 
with  perfect  ease.  When  they  get 
rambunctious — so  to  speak — he 
just  lets  them  feel  of  his  biceps 
and  all  is  quiet  along  the  Potomac. 
He  has  done  some  pretty  brave 
things  when  chance  offered  and 
just  missed  a  Carnegie  medal. 
Smithie  is  a  self-made  man,  and  he 
has  done  a  good  job.

The  expression  "We  should

it,  too.  Ever  since  Freshman  year

doing  the  scholastic  worrying  for 
all  the  rest  of  us.  Perhaps  this  is 
the  reason  why  Brownie  went 
through  Amherst  in  three  years. 
From  the  start  Stonie  had  his  heart 
set  on  a  Phi  Beta  Kappa  key  and 
we  were  all  glad  to  see  him  get  it 
Senior  year.  He  put  in  more 
hard  work  on  his  courses  and  got 
more  out  of  them  than  almost  any 
other  man  in  the  class.  At  all 
events  he  wears  a  key,  carries 
Ray,   Stonie,   Flunker  around    a   smooth   working   brain-

John  was  getting  to  be  quite  a

Tolstoi  littered  up  his  desk.  Had

first  on  the  Kellogg  and  last  as  a 
Hardy  Debater.  All  this  was 
merely  because  Bob  could  talk 
more  and  say  less,  i.  e.,  throw  the 
bull,  than  some  of  the  rest  of  us. 
Bob  has  a  good  head,  plenty  of 
good  nature,  and  lots  of  pep,  a 
combination  which  should  get  him

ERLING  AUBREY  STUBBS  AKE 


For  the  last  few  weeks  of  our 
stay  within  these  classic  bounds 
Aubrey  has  carried  with  him  an 
unusually  worried  and  concentrat- 
ed look.  There  had  been  rumors 
that  his  batting  average  had  not 
been  quite  big  enough  for  that 
Rite.  But  now  all  is  well.  The 
serene  heights  smile  once  more,  and 
we  should  worry.  There  is  one 
thing  we  must  say  ere  we  flit  to 
another  of  our  beloved  ones.  We 
know  of  no  one  in  our  midst  more 
delightfully  good-natured  and 
pleasant  to  have  around  than  our 
Stubbie.  He  has  borne  our  jests 
with  a  smile  and  smiling  borne 
back  a  jest.  His  qualities  go  to 
enrich  living.

had  plenty  of  nerve  to  back  up  his

^£    I  ^^^^         interests.     It  was  during  a  scrim- 

mage   on    Pratt    rink    that   he    re- 
ceived an  injury  to  his  leg  that  put 
him  out  of  the  game  and  out  of 
college  for  the  rest  of  his  Junior 
year.      Senior  year   Ducky  took  a 
leading  part  in  the  movements  for 
a  student  council  and  a  new  form 
of  Athletic  Board,  and  in  the  sum-

ing  an    ability   for   judgment   and  clear    thinking    that    continually 
brought   him   to   the   front.      He   has   been   a  backer   to  the   college 
and  a  good  friend  to  all  of  us. 

CLARENCE  LEON  TAPPIN  SAP 

Tappin  is  no  Frenchman,  but 
you  might  think  so  to  hear  him 
talk.  He  can  use  more  of  the 
language  in  a  minute  than  any- 
body this  side  of  the  faculty,  and 
enjoys  the  exercise.  He  has  taken 
part  in  the  annual  French  play, 
generally  as  a  female  of  some  sort ; 
our  only  comment  here  is  that  his 
French  is  better  than  his  figure. 
He  has  a  clear  head,  and  is  a  good 
student;  his  standing  has  made 
him  one  of  the  Bond  Fifteen ;  aside 
from  that  he  fits  in  with  the  rest 
of  us  very  well.  He  is  no  grind, 
and  knows  how  to  loaf  artistically. 
Our  private  bet  is  that  Tap  lands 
eventually  in  the  Bohemian  quar* 
ter  of  Paris,  and  that  he  won't 
have  to  act  the  part.

JAMES  ADDISON  TILDEN,  JR.  *Y 


When  first  J.  Addison  landed 
here  his  title  somewhat  prejudiced 
us  against  him.  One  rather  gets 
to  associate  such  a  permanent  fix- 
ture with  a  clothes  model,  girls, 
dances,  pink  teas,  etc.  But  while 
Tillie  has  his  share  of  enthusiasm 
for  these  sports,  he  has  kept  a 
larger  one  for  other  things.  On 
the  diamond,  the  tennis  court  and 
the  skating  rink  he  performs  with 
grace  and  credit.  As  a  caterer  of 
ragtime  melodies  on  piano  and 
drum,  he  has  few  equals.  And  he 
has  unshakable  confidence  in  him- 
self. Still  in  the  banking  world 
confidence  is  a  golden  asset,  and 
Tillie  ought  to  gather  no  moss.

MINER  WORTHINGTON  TUTTLE 


Entering  Amherst  Junior  year 
from  Wabash,  Miner  early  devel- 
oped a  reputation  as  an  intellectual- 
list.  Perhaps  his  father's  fame  as 
an  economist  eclipsing  Crook  had 
preceded  him — at  least  he  has 
lived  up  to  his  reputation  whatever 
its  source.  Whether  it  has  been 
in  advancing  new  evolutionary 
theories  for  Tip,  solutions  for 
economic  problems  for  Polecon,  or 
novel  philosophical  doctrines  for 
Dutch  Newlin  or  Prexy,  Miner 
has  shown  great  promise  as  an  in- 
dependent and  original  thinker. 
Despite  his  high-brow  tendencies 
he  has  been  well  liked  by  the  class.

Buck 

more  than  one  of  our  class  sings, 
against  you,   Buck. 


We'll  start  off  by  stating  that 
we  admire  the  class  spirit  shown 
by  Buck  during  his  college  course. 
He  has  tried  in  various  activities 
to  advance  the  interests  of  191 3, 
especially  in  track  and  hockey. 
Buck  wanted  to  be  an  athlete  and 
he  didn't  miss  out  so  very  far. 
But  alas,  we  are  frank  to  say,  he 
can't  sing.  Buck  stood  high  in  the 
competition  for  effectiveness  in 
wearing  down  the  Notch,  and  his 
inexhaustible  fund  of  good  humor 
and  anecdotes  has  relieved  the 
tedious  journey  back  from  Mt. 
Holyoke  for  the  faithful  Agg'ie 
fussers  over  there.  The  latest  ac- 
quisition to  his  following  is  a  ras-

who   succeeded    in    deharmonizing

We  were  all  fooled  Freshman 
year  by  Chuck's  frown,  but  soon 
came  to  know  the  genial  spirit 
hidden  underneath.  Waddy  was  a 
great  help  in  establishing  1913's 
track  reputation  in  the  two  Cider 
Meets,  and  also  in  the  Interclass 
relay  races.  More  than  that,  he 
has  held  down  a  position  on  the 
Varsity  quartette  during  his  four 
years.  Besides  being  a  crack 
sprinter,  Chuck  was  one  of  1913's 
"pretty  boys"  and  proved  a  val- 
uable addition  to  the  Cotillion 
Club.  At  times  he  was  useful  as 
well  as  ornamental,  and  managed 
probably  the  most  salubrious 
Senior  keg  party  that  was  ever 
pulled  off  in  Amherst  College.

BEN  PARKINSON  WALLACE  <I>K* 


This  is  one  of  our  Beaux  Brum- 
mels.  Around  Amherst  Ben  was 
silent  and  unaspiring,  but  just  let 
him  cross  the  river  and  he  was 
right  in  the  van  every  time.  The 
Smith  campus  seemed  to  have  a 
home-like  atmosphere  for  him — 
at  least  it  did  before  he  got 
through — and  he  spent  much  of 
his  leisure  and  most  of  his  money 
in  giving  the  fair  ones  a  good 
time.  We  did  not  all  of  us  get 
to  know  Ben  owing  to  the  fact 
that  he  did  not  join  our  ranks 
until  our  college  course  was  well 
along  toward  completion.  We 
think  he  will  be  successful  and 
are  willing  to  wager  that  he  won't 
make  any  errors  in  the  garden  of 
love.

HUNT  WARNER  *Y 

Hunt  was  rated  the  strongest 
man  in  the  class  Freshman  year. 
That  was  an  honor,  too,  consider- 
ing some  of  the  other  boys  who 
were  with  us  at  that  stage  of  the 
game.  As  a  fast  man  in  the 
sprints  Hunt  helped  us  smother 
1912  in  the  cider  meet.  A  little 
later  he  proved  a  tower  of  strength 
at  half-back  on  the  19 13  football 
team,  which  played  the  Sopho- 
mores to  a  standstill  in  that  mem- 
orable 6 — 6  game.  Hunt  had  a 
strong  head  to  go  with  his  brawn, 
graduating  without  much  trouble 
in  three  years.  He  enjoyed  him- 
self on  the  way,  too.  Hunt  prob- 
ably did  as  much  to  support  the 
Hamp  car  line  as  any  other  mem- 
ber of  the  class ;  but  then  of  course 
he  lived  over  there.  Some  of  the  rest  of  us  tried  to  but  never  really 
connected,  so  Hunt  alone  enjoyed   the  distinction.

Diminutive,  diaphanous,  and 
purveyor  of  dimly  dusty  dialogues, 
Joe  has  a  quick  wit  and  a  quicker 
smile  that  have  dealt  Gloom  more 
than  one  blow.  He  is  a  good  fel- 
low and  has  passed  all  of  his

diplomacy  and  an  air  of  innocence 
when  in  the  class  room.  One  can 
hardly  ask  more,  but  Joe  has  be- 
stirred himself  as  a  member  of  the 
hockey  squad  and  our  Junior  Ban- 
quet Committee.  There  has  been 
a  persistent  rumor  of  an  affair  of 
the  heart,  a  sensitive  subject  with 
which  we  dare  linger  no  longer.

ance and  holds  the  record  for  com- 
petitions. Rough  and  ready  he  al- 
ways greets  you  with  that  well- 
known  Western  air.  In  his  early 
career,  between  competitions  and 
books,  he  had  little  time  for  Smith 
or  that  other  admirable  institution 
of  learning,  but  as  his  views  on 
life  expanded  he  has  devoted  more 
and  more  time  to  society.  Ralph 
is  an  exponent  of  the  art  of  smooth- 
rough  diplomacy,  and  has  ridden 
on  happily  so  far  with  this  ability 
as  one  of  his  most  valued  assets. 
In  spite  of  the  flood  which  forced 
his  band  of  actors  into  closer  con- 
tact with  the  waters  than  it  could 
well  afford,  Ralph  made  the  best 
of  a  bad  situation  and  proved  him-

This  is  Bill,  the  sleuth,  and  pride 
of  West  Springfield.  Bill  is  an 
athlete  and  then  again  he  isn't. 
Freshman  year  he  helped  us  tie  the 
much  heralded  Sophomore  football 
team.  Since  then  every  winter 
finds  him  placing  an  elbow  or  knee 
into  some  opponent's  stomach  while 
shooting  baskets  in  the  gym.  Bill 
could  never  be  accused  of  being 
sensitive,  and  in  him  Croc  finds  an 
ardent  supporter.  Bill  sits  quietly, 
reads  (not  studies),  smokes  and 
smiles,  but  in  reality  he  has  gotten 
away  with  a  lot  of  hard  work.

For  four  years  Pic  tried  to  make 
us  think  that  he  was  either  a  pessi-

most got  away  with  the  part  but  he 
never  fooled  us  for  long.  From  the 
night  Pic  put  Steamer  Bixby's 
lock  out  of  commission  with  chew- 
ing gum,  deliberately  barricaded 
his  own  door  with  a  couple  of 
cheffoniers,  and  went  peacefully 
off  to  sleep  we  knew  he  had  a  hu- 
morist and  a  philosopher  on  our 
hands.  Willie  believed  from  the 
start  in  both  study  and  athletics; 
result,  a  cum  laude  on  his  sheep- 
skin and  the  captaincy  of  the 
hockey  team  Senior  year.  Both 
his  body  and  his  mind  work  with 
much  the  same  speed  and  efficien- 
cy as  a  steel  trap,  and  when  he 
learns  to  appreciate  the  charms  of 
mixed  society  he'll  be  a  hard  man 
to  beat.

This  does  not  mean  that  he  has

"Bull"  earned  this  name

a  business  man  he  is  most  efficient, 
as  evinced  by  the  class  treasury, 
the  Christian  Association  and 
Dramatics.  Hail-fellow-well-met, 
he  carries  around  with  him  a  lob- 
bying instinct  that  ought  to  land 
him  in  the  state  legislature  to  clean 
out  the  grafters.  But  most  of  all 
we  have  to  hand  it  to  Harry  for 
his  successful  efforts  to  rejuvenate 
the  Forum.  "Sleuch"  has  tried 
his  hands  at  oratory  and  made  the 
Hyde  Six.  Beyond  these  few

Freshman  year  he  developed  his

has  produced  sufficient  spirit  to 
raise  him  to  the  Episcopal  choir

Alfred  Newbery,  Ivy  Poet 
We  know  that  we  are  gathered  here  today 
To  signalize  a  crisis  in  our  life. 
"What  we  have  been  shall  be  no  more,"  we  say, 
Or  else,  "shall  stronger  grow  in  years  to  come." 
Some  there  may  be  who  have  no  thought  of  aught 
Save  newer  pleasures  that  now  lie  at  hand, 
Who  feel  no  limit  reached,  no  higher  crest — 
But  rather  less  restraint  of  self's  desires — 
And  others  who  in  reverent  humbleness 
Look  out  upon  a  life  that  seems  to  them, 
Not  freedom,  but  responsibility. 
We  have  enjoyed  a  little  time  of  play, 
And  then  of  work, — and  then  of  play  again, 
Of  laws,  of  blame  and  praise, — of  surface  things 
But  we  had  little  intercourse  with  souls. 
Blind !    Yes  we  were  blind  indeed  to  stand 
Four  heedless  years  beneath   the  shining  light 
Of  personality  revealed,  of  needs 
Made  known,  of  aspirations  that  burst  forth — 
And  our  dull  souls  caught  not  the  flaming  brand. 
How  many  a  fluttering  soul  that  trembled  on 
The  lip,  our  unresponsiveness  has  killed. 
How  many  an  older  heart  has  yearned  to  help, 
Whose  proffered  hand  in  anger  we  have  scorned. 
Old  heads  have  bowed  in  pain  o'er  our  misdeeds 
And  we  have  hated  them  because  they  did. 
Stern  voices  have  called  us  to  our  account, 
And  likewise  we  have  hated  them  for  that. 
Oh!     What  have  we  not  hated  that  was  good! 
And  what  have  we  not  cherished  that  was  bad! 
Is  it  to  be  so  different  there  outside? 
Is  there  an  element  that  we  have  lacked, 
A  higher  purpose,  nobler  aim,  or  goal 
Of  more  compelling  power?     Shall  we  find 
Aught  more  true  or  good  in  the  world  outside? — 


94  AMHERST  COLLEGE  CLASS  BOOK 

We  are  sum  and  substance  of  the  world. 
Not  what  we  do,  but  what  we  are  is  good. 
Our  effort  is  more  noble  than  our  act. 
No,  all  our  pitiful  weakness,  our  blind 
Dull  heedlessness  will  find  indeed  more  scope 
For  devastation,  wider  than  we  dreamed. 
Destroy  and  devastate  we  must, 
And  be  destroyed !     Our  nature  thus  is  made. 
But  sympathy  of  thought  wipes  out  all  pain. 
The  ancient  Greek  had  but  to  understand 
The  motive  to  forgive.     They  are  the  same. 
If  that  be  good,  who  can  give  way  to  blame? 
So  we  must  keep  our  purpose  pure  and  true 
Our  will  with  the  perfect  will  in  sweet  accord 
Our  heart's  desire  a  steady  flame,  that  burns 
For  service  to  our  fellow  men.     But  what 
Have  we  done  here,  to  further  such  an  end  ? 
If  we  have  lost  our  childlike  eagerness 
In  any  bond  that  holds  us  to  this  world ; 
If  we  can  contemplate  unmoved,  aloof, 
The  daily  acts  of  those  around  us,  and 
Find  in  them  no  touch  of  something  strong 
And  good,  and  high,  and  true,  that  thrills  in  us 
An  answering  fibre:  if  we  experience 
No  happiness,   no  tang  of  wholesome   life 
In  contact  close  and  sweetly  intimate 
With  heart  and  mind  of  every  other  here, 
If  this  be  true — then  truly  we  have  done 
Nothing,  and  our  idle  life  is  vain. 
Quick  to  see  in  others  all  the  good 
(God  in  the  man  of  sin!),  and  ever  prompt 
To  stand  on  common  ground  with  every  rran, 
Deeply  aware  of  all  our  mutual  bonds, 
These  we  must  be  if  we  would  live  ourselves 
Complete  to  realize.     Wliat  is  it  but 
Enthusiasm?     Need  we  aught  beside? 
Enthusiasm  is  the  zest  of  life.     The  breath 
Divine  that  spurs  us  to  our  task,  and  makes 


NINETEEN    HUNDRED   AND   THIRTEEN  95 

It  joy.     The  gleam  that  pictures  all  our  dreams 

Twin  child  with  Hope, — that  lifts  our  drooping  head 

To  see  new  beauties  in  our  task — that  drives 

The  pulsing  blood  in  riot  through  our  veins 

In  sheer  joy  at  the  simple  fact  of  life. 

We  brought  a  fresh  enthusiasm  here, 

And  God  permit  that  we  may  take  it  hence.

Ten  minutes  of  fierce,  bruising  conflict  was  the  making  of  the 
Class  of  19 1 3.  We  had  run  through  the  strenuous  hopper  of  rush- 
ing season,  had  shyly  shaken  hands  with  a  few  "members  of  your 
class,"  and  proudly  donned  our  pledge  buttons.  We  had  stumbled 
through  paint,  acid,  mud  and  Sophomores  into  our  first  chapel, 
listened  vacantly  to  that  curious  old  doxology,  "Praise  Father,  Son 
and  Spirit  evermore"  and  stared  at  Prexy  as  he  announced  the  watch- 
word "Forwards"  for  the  year.  Billy  Washburn  had  taught  us  to 
yell  "To  Hell  with  Sabrina,"  blacked  our  faces  till  we  looked  like 
coal-heavers,  and  marshalled  us,  fearful  and  yet  eager,  waiting  for 
the  Flag  Rush  gun  to  fire.  But  not  till  we  struck  the  first  Sopho- 
more fist  did  we  realize  that  we  belonged  to  the  Class  of  19 13.  In 
our  common  enemy,  in  our  common  bruises,  and  in  our  common 
struggle  against  too  great  odds,  we  found  the  united  fighting  spirit 
of  '13. 

The  rest  of  Freshman  year  was  a  haze  of  happy  victories.  The 
baseball  series  was  triumphantly  ours — 2-3,  6-0,  10-2.  Dug  Urqu- 
hart,  Tony  Ladd,  Gilman,  and  Dutch  Elliott  were  with  us  then; 
and  when  we  posted  our  first  posters,  we  felt  proud  of  them.  The 
Cider  Meet  was  ours  by  double  the  Sophomore  score.  The  football 
game  was  tied  in  spite  of  the  unanimous  prediction  of  a  Sophomore 
victory.  We  won  the  Interclass  hockey  series.  We  won  the  inter- 
class  debate.  The  tennis  championship  was  ours,  and  has  been  ever 
since.  The  cross-country  run  was  ours,  and  has  been  ever  since. 
The  swimming  meet  was  ours  and  has  been  ever  since.  Triumphs 
tasted  sweetest  then,  and  we  had  many  of  them. 

But  the  richest  memories  of  Freshman  year  will  always  center 
round  the  Old  Dorms.  It  was  from  there  that  our  thirteen  chosen 
martyrs  journeyed  in  the  darkness  to  the  Freshman  River  to  be 
decorated  with  the  colors  of  their  class.  We  gathered  in  the  Dorms 
for  our  Freshman  banquet,  crept  in  silence  down  to  the  old  C.  V., 
embarked  for  the  intoxicating  joys  of  the  New  American  House,  and 
made  our  first  attempt  at  a  big-city  spree.  It  was  in  the  Old  Dorms 
that  the   Sons  of   Rest  maintained   their  brief,   but  spirited   regime.

It  was  there  we  ''kidded"  Glessner,  Cohn,  and  Rothberg,  ran  off 
the  interdormitory  snow-ball  tournaments,  suffered  under  frozen 
plumbing  and  Kidder's  bills  for  broken  windows,  and  soaked  each 
other  in  the  water-fights.  It  was  there  too  that  we  did  our  hardest 
work,  formed  our  fastest  friendships,  and  grew  accustomed  to  the 
ways  and  purposes  of  Alma  Mater. 

Our  Sophomore  year,  we  were  typical  Sophomores.  We 
plunged  into  the  competitions;  went  out  for  the  teams;  and  fought 
to  win  our  spurs  in  every  field  of  college  honors.  A  few  sacks  of 
flour  defeated  us  in  the  flag  rush.  We  lost  the  baseball  and  football 
contests,  and  rescued  the  Cider  Barrel  from  the  Freshmen  by  a 
narrow  margin.  We  weathered  the  onslaughts  of  a  scholastic  refor- 
mation. The  major  and  minor  system,  the  raise  in  passing  mark  and 
the  full-year  course  rule  struck  us  full  in  the  center  of  our  camp. 
Some  of  us  were  numbered  with  the  slain ;  most  of  us  were  wounded  ; 
but  the  great  majority  valiantly  survived — veterans  of  the  revival 
of  learning.  Our  Sophomore  hop  was  enjoyed  by  everyone,  except- 
ing possibly  the  committee.  Our  Sophomore  smoker  set  a  new  stand- 
ard in  the  college  for  fun  and  jocularity.  And  we  topped  off  the 
year  in  a  jovial  banquet  at  the  old  Massasoit  House,  with  a  fitting 
tribute  to  Sabrina,  and  the  sad  announcement  that  Fritz  Macdonald 
would  be  leaving  us  without  a  president. 

Junior  year  is  almost  always  uneventful  and  usually  happy — 
and  ours  was  no  exception  to  the  rule.  We  produced  another  success- 
ful Smoker,  held  another  lively  banquet,  published  a  good  Olio,  and 
conducted  a  winning  Junior  Prom.  We  bore  our  share  of  the  hard 
work  of  the  college ;  and  filled  five  Senior  offices — in  swimming, 
tennis,  heavy  gym,  dramatics  and  the  mandolin  club — with  '13  men. 
With  Junior  year  came  the  announcement  of  Prexy  Harris'  resigna- 
tion, and  we  felt  that  we  were  losing  a  tried  and  trusted  friend 
of  '13  and  the  college. 

Under  our  leadership  as  Seniors  the  college  assuredly  has  pros- 
pered. Our  men  have  filled  their  places  as  captains,  managers  and 
editors  with  efficiency  and  loyalty.  For  the  first  time  in  recent  history 
elections  have  been  free  from  unfair  politics,  and  an  honor  spirit  has 
begun  to  supplement  the  "honor  system."  To  us  is  largely  due  the 
credit  for  the  student  council — an  organization  long  needed  to  lead 
and  mould  the  better  thought  of  the  college.     We  leave  behind  us  a 


NINETEEN    HUNDRED   AND   THIRTEEN  99 

memorial  to  Henry  Ward  Beecher — perhaps  the  most  useful  and 
enduring  gift  of  any  class  to  Amherst  College.  We  have  won  our  first 
and  only  prize  through  the  industry  of  our  songsters;  and  in  the 
fading  twilight  on  the  college  fence  we  have  broadened  and  deepened 
our  feeling  of  fraternity  with  the  class  and  with  the  college. 

To  us  as  the  first  Senior  class  has  been  revealed  in  clear  relief 
the  vision  of  the  better  Amherst.  The  new  president  has  come, 
inoculated  us  with  ''intellectual  enthusiasm,"  and  disclosed  to  us  the 
possibilities  of  Amherst  as  the  leader  among  cultural  small  colleges. 
We  have  watched  Hitchcock  Field  grow  with  wizard  swiftness,  seen 
in  fancy  the  whole  college  engaged  at  once  in  fresh,  free  sport,  and 
dreamed  of  the  day  when  Amherst  will  again  become  the  first  among 
athletic  colleges.  We  have  caught  the  new  spirit  of  hope,  and  firm 
assurance  that  these  and  many  other  worthy  dreams  will  finally  come 
true.  And  in  the  realizations  of  these  visions  we  hope,  in  our  alumni 
days,  to  bear  our  part. 

And  now  at  our  Senior  Banquet,  with  the  last  examinations 
over,  and  but  four  more  college  days  to  live,  we  are  looking  back 
and  wondering  what  it  was  all  about.  We  have  enjoyed  a  deal  of 
solid  fun,  gathered  a  few  scraps  of  information,  formed  a  few  per- 
ennial friendships,  and  attained  a  little  of  the  strength  and  gentleness 
of  manhood.  It  has  been  a  bitter-sweet  experience,  but  surely  it  has 
been  worth  while. 

To-night  we  again  are  marshalled,  as  we  were  on  the  first 
Saturday  of  our  college  course,  fearful  and  yet  eager,  wTaiting  for  the 
signal  gun  of  a  far  bigger  battle  to  be  fired.  The  fight  wTill  last 
much  longer  than  ten  minutes,  and  there  will  be  a  lot  more  slugging 
If  we  fight  fairly,  it  is  likely  wTe  will  lose  again.  But  with  the  vision 
of  Amherst  ideals  before  us  and  the  united,  fighting  spirit  of  '13 
behind  us,  we  can  put  up  a  game  struggle,  and  be  back  at  our  tri- 
ennial to  tell  about  it.

A  prophecy  demands  much  of  the  imagination.  Many  of  you 
now  will  find  it  strangely  easy  to  use  that  organ.  Therefore  you 
are  asked  to  imagine  that  the  calendar  is  moved  forward  twenty- 
five  years  hence,  and  that  we  are  assembled  at  the  banquet  board  at 
our  twenty-fifth  Reunion  instead  of  at  the  Senior  board.  Most  of 
us  are  gray-haired  and  bald-headed,  and  we  no  longer  think  only  of 
ourselves,  but  of  several  others,  in  proportion  as  our  family  may 
consist  of  two  or  five  or  eight,  as  our  luck  may  have  been.  But  we 
have  brought  unbounded  renown  to  our  class,  and  have  forgotten 
the  conspiracies  of  the  college  authorities  against  19 13.  What 
have  the  years  done  for  our  classmates  as  we  look  around  the  board  ?

Irving  Edward  Richard,   Grove  Poet 

Still  must  I  hear? — shall  hoarse  John  Simpson  bawl 
His  creaking  couplets  in  a  tavern  hall, 
And  I  not  sing,  lest  Leiper  and  his  crew 
Shall  dub  me  rounder,  and  denounce  my  muse! 
Prepare  for  rhyme — I'll  publish,  right  or  wrong! 
Fools  are  my  theme,  let  satire  be  my  song. 

Of  all  the  classes 
That  ever  have  entered 
The  college  on  the  hill, 
We  raise  our  glasses 
To  the  bunch  so  fettered 
With  the  unlucky  bill. 

"We  are,  we  are,  the  class  of  one  and  three," 
So  rang  the  carefree,  happy  strain  four  years  ago,  I  think. 
Behind  the  dusty  blinds  the  faculty  shook  with  glee 
"We'll  hand  some  lusty  wallops  to  that  doughhead  bunch 
of  ginks!" 

So  first  they  raised  the  entrance  fee, 

And  then  shoved  Latin  up  a  notch. 

Then  to  enjoy  their  little  spree, 

They  hashed  up  that  Major  and  Minor  botch. 

We  fit    and  we  clamored  and  we  held  meetings  galore, 

But  the  faculty  only  soaked  in  some  more; 

They  laughed,  and  they  gloated  and  made  a  ten  per  cent. 

raise, 
That  most  of  us  will  remember  to  the  end  of  our  days. 

But  of  all  the  nasty  little  things, 
The  one  that  held  the  meanest  sting, 
Was  the  day  that  Grovie  made  so  bold 
To  glance  around  as  he  called  the  roll. 


NINETEEN    HUNDRED   AND   THIRTEEN  109 

Once  Nungie  was  making  the  little  round  dots, 
On  a  Spring  day  that  was  both  sleepy  and  hot, 
When  somebody  answered  for  Bill  Whitney  twice: 
No  more  post-prandial  slumber,  so  delicious  and  nice! 

Now  Prexey  is  a  scholar 

Of  credit  and  renown, 
A  better  little  course  than  his 

Can  nowhere  else  be  found. 

Ere  he  himself  had  landed  here, 

'Twas  very  hard  to  see 
How  Logic,  dull  and  dry  and  cold, 

Such  an  easy  gut  could  be. 

But  these  were  only  trifles, 

That  served  to  give  variety, 
That  helped  to  break  the  stifles, 

That  came  from  long  satiety, 

That  lack  of  all  hilarity, 
From  Churchill's  institution 
Of  endless  repetition. 

Old  Tip  he  got  religion 
So  very,  very  bad ! 
We  all  got  indigestion 
To  see  him  look  so  sad! 

Crock  Thompson  was  both  round  and  renowned, 
Alongside  of  Prexey  he  could  always  be  found. 
His  views  on  deportment  he  ever  would  sound, 
Until  all  the  boys  thought  he  ought  to  be  crowned. 

"My  name  is  Palfrey  Utter! 
Let  every  eye-lid  flutter, 
Let  every  Freshman  stutter, 
Let  no  one  dare  to  muttter 
That  anything  in  Amherst 
Than  Harvard's  any  better." 


AMHERST  COLLEGE  CLASS  BOOK 


"I  bring  sweet  slumbers  to  the  yawning  numbers, 

From  Chaucer  and  Keats; 
I  read  clever  notes  to  you,  bunch  of  goats, 

In  your  slumping  seats, 
From  my  mouth  are  uttered  the  words  that  stuff 

Your  bone  heads  every  one, 
When  rocked  to  rest  by  my  English  best, 

As  I  almost  pull  off  a  pun; 
I  often  assail  with  a  hissing  smile, 

Your  stuttering  answers  weak, 
When  heads  drop  low  I  ope  a  window, 

And  laugh  as  you  freeze  in  your  seats." 

There  was  a  sound  of  revelry  by  night, 
All  Mt.  Domo's  profs  were  gathered  there; 

They'd  ordered  up  enough  from  Bill's  all  right 
To  even  make  Sniff  Andrews  free  from  care. 


These  verses  are  not  well  connected, 
Just  look  who  the  author  is, 

But  since  no  one's  objected, 

I  will  soon  make  an  end  to  the  biz- 

Before  proceeding  farther 
I'd  like  to  lift  my  hammer 
To  apply  a  little  damper 
To  Eastman's  caustic  manner: 
His  remarks  are  quite  sarcastic, 

His  appearance  too  bombastic, 
His  manners  almost  classic, 
He's  just  so  diplomatic. 

To  turn  into  another  alley 

Cannot  here  be  done, 
Before  we  take  a  look  at  Gaily, 

And  then  conceal  a  yawn. 
Nor  can  we  leave  L.  Hamilton 

And  his  tales  about  the  "women"; 
His  acts  of  heroism  surely  stun, 

Whenever  he  goes  swimmin'. 


NINETEEN    HUNDRED    AND    THIRTEEN 


And  next  we  ring  the  bell 

For  little,  little  Doc; 
Cause  he  can  never  tell 

When  we  are  sick,  or  not. 

Do  you  know  that  we  are  getting  weary 

Of  all  the  notes  at  hand 
On  jokes  that  have  become  quite  dreary, 

'Bout  damning  Andy's  damn ! 

If  you  can  find  a  faculty  man 

With  pep  enough  to  swear, 
Why  don't  you  call  him  to  the  stand, 

And  admit  that  he's  a  bear? 

But  we  have  lingered  long  enough 

On  Faculty  and  such  ; 
Now  I  must  grind  out  other  stuff, 

And  dwell  on  others  much ; 
As  a  poet  I'm  an  awful  bluff, 

My  rhyme  escapes  my  clutch, 
Remember  when  the  meter's  rough, 

It's  been  limping  with  a  crutch. 

Jeff  Atkinson's  a  funny  gink, 

He  wears  a  suit  five  years; 
Then  forth  he  goes  to  get  some  ink, 

To  cover  up  the  tears. 

Hub  Allen  has  a  husky  voice, 

It  has  a  beastly  bellow; 
Whenever  Ernie  passes  him, 

With  envy  he  turns  yellow. 

We  love  our  little  Bixby, 
With  whom  we  all  agree; 
He  flaunts  a  little  Kappa  key, 
And  doesn't  care  for  tea. 


AMHERST  COLLEGE  CLASS  BOOK 


"A  gentleman  of  City  fame 

Now  claims  your  kind   attention; 
Fussing  and  dancing  was  his  game, 

His    name    I    shall    not    mention: 
No  one  of  finely-pointed  sense 
Would  violate  a  confidence, 
And  shall   I  go 
And  do  it?     No! 
His  name  I  shall  not  mention." 

Airy,  fairy  Fitzsimmons, 

Flitting,  fairy  Fitzsimmons, 
When  we  ask  him  to  be  quiet 
Subsides  and  then  at  once  forgets, 

His  chattering  simply  stuns; 
In  the  library  do  we  fret, 

For  buzzing  Fitzsimmons. 

From  his  obscurity  I  drag 

Our  blushing  Arthur  Bond; 
In  his  precocity  I  bag 

Our  waddling  Georgie  Olds; 
For  his  verbosity  I  nag 

Our  soul-rescuing  Leiper; 
In  his  brutality  I  tag 

Our  heart-breaking  Parsons; 
And  in  his  sobriety  I  shag 

Our  study-loving  Harding. 

My  name  is  gentleman  Jack, 
I'm  the  best  little  card  in  the  pack, 
At  a  raffle  one  day 
I    attempted    to   play, 
And  carried  the  stuff  on  my  back. 

St.  Peter  called  aloud  for  Steele; 

During  the  last  commotion 
Some  things  Jack  did  conceal, 

And  St.  P.  passed  him — on  probation. 


NINETEEN    HUNDRED   AND   THIRTEEN 


Where,  oh  where  is  Glen's  better  half? 
For  three  long  years  he's  stood  the  chaff, 
And  stood  on  his  head  on  her  behalf 
When  she'd  telephone  or  telegraph, 
And  heaven  knows  her  photograph 
Has  kept  him  on  the  narrow  path. 

"A  violet  by  a  mossy  stone 

Half  hidden  from  the  eye" : 
O,  Klingenfeldt!     O,  Klingenf eldt ! 

We  like  your  gestures,  shy. 

With   looks  majestical, 
And  thoughts  satirical, 
Our  Tappin  struts  about; 
To  places  mystical, 
On  matter  conjugal, 
We  think  he's  out  to  scout. 

We  haven't  yet  recovered 

From  rumor  quite  sinister, 
That  some  one  had  discovered 

Our  Willie  was  a  minister. 

In  poetic  knell 
It  often  did  dispel 
Words  that  cast  a  spell, 
Against  restraint  rebel, 
Often  fixed  with — Hades: 
Our  little,  blushing  Caldwell. 

Hail  to  thee,  blithe  Bailey, 

Saint  thou  never  wert, 
Till  the  Glass  gang  got  thee: 

How  they  did  convert 
Our  singing  Jenny  to  a  chirping  Ibsen  bird. 

Away  with  your  fictions  of  flimsy  romance; 

Those  tissues  of  falsehood  which  Robbie  has  wove. 
It's  kept  him  from  flunking  much  more  than  once; 

He's  got  by  in  a  way  that  we  don't  approve. 


ii4  AMHERST  COLLEGE  CLASS  BOOK 

He  lived  unknown  and  few  could  know 
When  Jacqueth  ceased  to  be; 

But  he  is  in  his  grave  and  wThat's 
The  difference  to  me! 

In  manner  oratorical 

Bre'r  Stilwell  chants, 

In  phases  rhetorical 

How  often  does  he  rant! 

It  hath  been  whispered  of  late 

That  he  was  almost  intoxicate. 

Little  Walter  Coyle, 
We  never  see  him   toil ; 
With  girls  he's  very  fly, 
To  that  we  testify. 

Johnny  Storrs  wears  latest  cuts, 

In  an  auto  does  he  ride; 
With  the  girls  there  are  no  buts, 

They  like  that  Eva  Tanguay  glide. 

"Gentle,  modest  little  Bert, 

Sweet  epitome  of  shyness, 
From  the  public  eye  he  shirks, 

With  such  sweet  forgetfulness." 
Sentences  so  nobly  raising, 

Praise  enough  to  make  you  faint, 
I  should  always  be  a-crying; 

If  you  were,  Bert;  but  you  ain't. 

With  greenest  moss  this  stuff 

Is   thickly   crusted; 
The  rocky  road  was  rough, 

The  meter's  busted. 
You  only  say,  "This  line  is  dreary, 

It  sparkleth  not,"  you  say; 
You  say,  "We  are  aweary,  aweary, 

We  would  that  we  were  dead !"

John  Woodruff  Simpson,  2d  Grove  Orator 

Ladies  and  Gentlemen: 

Today  the  bashful  sun  rises  above  the  Pelham  hills  to  shed  its 
rays  upon  a  scene  of  mingled  joy  and  sadness.  Old  Amherst  is  once 
more  decked  out  in  Commencement  colors.  For  the  last  week  we 
have  gone  to  bed  with  the  birds  to  be  awakened  by  the  merry  tinkle 
of  an  ante-diluvian  lawn  mower  as  it  has  striven  (against  trouble- 
some odds)  to  denude  the  campus  of  its  April  growth  of  dandelions. 
The  watch-dog  of  the  treasury  has  once  again  allowed  Appleton 
cabinet  to  be  robbed  of  its  electrical  riches.  We  see  in  place  of 
shady  nooks  a  gorgeous  blaze  of  Tungsten  lights.  Our  young  alumni 
after  several  days  of  wavering  between  simple  inebriety  and  total 
unrighteousness  have  at  last  apparently  discovered  the  golden  mean 
between  the  limits  of  capacity,  while  their  older  brethren,  weary 
with  divers  futile  attempts  to  escape  the  clever  vigilance  of  their 
wives  and  the  opprobrium  of  a  grape  juice  administration,  have 
finally  allowed  themselves  to  be  frozen  out  and  accepted  the  time- 
honored  doctrine  of  Tip  Tyler  which  proclaims  the  survival  of  the 
fittest. 

And  yet  in  spite  of  the  manifest  gaiety  of  the  scene  there  are 
some  of  us  for  whom  the  darkest  colors  of  funeral  crepe  are  none  too 
somber.  The  class  of  19 13,  after  four  years  of  revelry  in  the  lap 
of  learning,  now  stands  upon  the  threshold  and  within  a  few  more 
hours  will  bid  the  institution  which  has  nourished  them  a  fond 
good-night.  The  inevitable  time  of  parting  which  has  threatened 
some  of  us  with  the  advent  of  each  semester  examination,  which 
some  have  prayed  for  and  others  refused  to  believe  possible,  now 
looms  up  in  deadly  proximity.  We  have  gathered  for  the  last  time 
to  woo  Morpheus  in  the  College  church.  Only  this  aftertaste  of 
chapel  remains,  and  our  souls  swell  with  satisfaction  to  think  that 
we  shall  no  more  be  compelled  to  breakfast  upon  the  musty  discourses 
of  Epictetus.  We  have  paid  our  final  visit  to  Tip  and  Hoppy.  The 
last  salamander  has  been  sacrificed  to  the  gods  of  his  fathers,  the  last 
test-tube  has  been  broken,  and  even  Mud  Puppy's  entrancing  lectures 
upon  prehistoric  man  have  become  ancient  history.  We  may  now 
pass    through   Walker   hall   in   safety    for   our   debts   are   paid,    our 


124  AMHERST  COLLEGE  CLASS  BOOK 

assessments  for  broken  windows  have  sewed  the  last  button  on  Kid- 
der's new  norfolk  jacket.  We  have  sworn  off  the  last  overcut, 
slipped  the  monitor  the  last  hush  money,  and  now  stand  with  a 
record  complete  and  unsullied ;  it  remains  for  us  only  to  perform 
the  last  rites.  Our  life,  like  Job's,  has  been  full  of  days,  and  upon 
the  eve  of  departure  we  conceive  of  nothing  more  fitting  than  to 
share  with  you,  who  need  it  so  badly,  the  benefits  of  an  experience, 
which  Amherst  alone  can  offer. 

It  is  doubtful  if  a  group  of  men  could  anywhere  be  found  who 
better  deserve  to  be  called  teachers.  Even  our  enemies  will  admit 
that  from  the  beginning  our  watchword  has  been  versatility;  and 
as  a  result  we  are  today  in  a  position  to  elaborate  at  length  upon 
any  theme  from  sin  and  suffering  to  the  rewards  of  the  learned  and 
pious.  Six  weeks  of  our  Freshman  year  were  not  spent  before  we 
had  taken  steps  to  keep  alive  the  old  Amherst  spirit (s),  which  at 
that  time  in  spite  of  the  efforts  of  19 10  showed  signs  of  wavering. 
It  was  quickly  done.  Lamberton  sounded  the  call  to  arms  and  from 
hill  and  dale,  from  Nash's  block  and  5  School  St.,  from  the  dorms 
and  the  more  palatial  quarters  of  the  aristocracy  the  cohorts  soon 
gathered.  Uncle  John's  and  the  Draper  speedily  purchased  new 
cash  registers,  Dick  lost  his  girlish  figure  in  the  mazes  of  increased 
prosperity,  while  the  strain  of  modern  thought  ushered  in  by  these 
sons  of  rest  caused  the  municipal  authorities  to  augment  the  Amherst 
police  force  by  means  of  the  Don  Juan  form  of  Tom  Dillon. 

And  yet  with  all  this  sufficiency  of  bacchanalian  propensities 
the  more  serious  muses  have  never  lacked  attention.  Where  else  in 
college  will  be  found  an  example  of  studious  devotion  to  equal  that 
of  Cadman.  History  has  it  that  long  ago  this  aesthetic  youth  was 
wont  to  spend  his  hours  before  a  fireplace,  where  he  puffed  an  empty 
pipe  and  warmed  his  blood  through  digesting  the  droll  pathos  of 
Balzac.  Then  one  day,  aroused  from  his  lethargy  by  the  missionary 
efforts  of  Leiper,  he  suddenly  developed  into  the  most  subtle  of  limb- 
elongators.  Disdaining  to  employ  the  more  clumsy  methods  of  Col- 
lins (which  have  yet  to  bear  fruit)  he  leased  a  room  under  the  very 
nose  of  Polecon  Crook  and  dividing  his  time  equally  between  the 
mental  vacuum  of  Knudson  and  the  goal  of  Phi  Beta  Kappa,  suc- 
ceeded finally  in  discovering  in  East  street  the  golden  key  which 
admits  to  the  province  of  all  knowledge. 


NINETEEN    HUNDRED   AND    THIRTEEN  125 

Then  too  there  are  other  celebrities,  great  orators  and  debaters 
who  have  wagged  their  silver  tongues  not  only  for  the  sake  of  pelf, 
but  also  in  the  interests  of  reform.  Who  of  us  can  forget  Stilwell, 
as  balanced  upon  his  diminutive  number  io's  and  reaching  gracefully 
for  the  favor  of  Crock  Thompson,  he  poured  forth  his  very  soul  in 
a  fierce  tirade  against  the  abuses  of  Senior  chapel.  True  he  failed 
in  his  purpose,  for  the  present  world  is  all  too  narrow  for  the  spread 
of  angel  wings.  Yet  like  the  Christian  martyrs  of  old  his  ashes 
were  scattered  abroad,  to  have  their  rewrard  when  the  faithful  dis- 
ciples, Cross  and  Leiper,  following  the  shining  example  of  their  com- 
mander-in-chief, were  led  to  aim  the  batteries  of  genius  against  that 
wickedest  crime  of  all,  the  class  keg  party.  We  may  justly  feel 
assured  that  such  gentlemen  will  take  their  last  ride  in  the  fiery 
chariot  of  Elijah. 

But  while  some  of  us  have  been  converted  by  sermons,  a  greater 
number  have  yielded  to  the  alluring  giggles  or  imploring  tears  of 
beruffled  femininity.  Ah!  Glen,  how  often  in  days  of  yore  wert 
thou  wont  to  be  counted  among  the  jolly  band  of  gallants  whose 
mirthful  songs  re-echoed  from  the  painted  ceiling  of  the  last  car? 
When  it  was  suggested  by  some  embryo  politician  that  the  name  of 
Arkansas  be  changed,  how  eagerly  didst  thou  rise  from  thy  seat  to 
refute  his  arguments  with  ready  gesture  and  a  loud  shout  of  ''never"  ? 
Alas!  now  the  future  we  have  planned  for  you  is  shattered,  the  touch 
of  a  soft  hand  has  blighted  the  more  glittering  prospects  betokened 
by  Freshman  year.  With  Gain  Robinson  and  Walt  Moore  you 
have  joined  the  ever  increasing  group,  which  turns  a  broad  back  and 
a  deaf  ear  to  the  manifold  voices  of  the  past.  Truly  to  be  engaged 
is   Hell! 

When  we  review  this  record  of  these  representatives  of  vice  and 
virtue  it  is  not  hard  to  understand  why  that  most  august  and  exalted 
body,  the  faculty,  are  overcome  with  grief  at  our  approaching  de- 
parture. They  are  to  be  sure  a  varied  collection,  embodying  every- 
thing from  the  highest  degree  of  genius  to  the  razor  edge  of  imbe- 
cility. Who  of  us  can  forget  Clark,  as  with  one  trouser  leg  turned 
up,  his  blue  coat  streaked  with  the  dust  of  Mt.  Doma,  in  the  shape 
of  diagrams  illustrating  the  cost  of  living,  he  hems  and  haws,  and 
mopping  his  pseudo-intellectual  brow,  struggles  manfully  to  elucidate 
a  thought  which  has  been  common  property  since  the  days  of  Adam

Smith.  Tip  too  must  needs  long  remain  an  entrancing  vision,  a 
human  fashion  plate,  who  sometimes,  as  he  struts  about  discoursing 
on  the  "Pithicanthropos  Erectus,"  has  been  mistaken  for  Rip  Van 
Winkle  or  the  ghost  of  famine,  eloping  from  a  cornfield.  His 
honors  have  been  many,  but  we  cannot  help  feeling  a  tinge  of  tragic 
gloom  when  we  think  that  his  head,  like  John  the  Baptist's,  is  des- 
tined to  find  its  last  resting  place  upon  a  neatly  garnished  platter. 

Concerning  his  colleagues  space  permits  us  to  say  little.  Jeff 
Atkinson,  since  the  deluge  of  coin  from  the  Aggie  game,  has  worn 
out  Emmie's  sneeze.  In  Charley  Parsons  all  who  so  desire  may  see 
the  mincing  step  of  another  Kidder,  while  the  honied  tone  and  girl- 
ish modesty  of  Andrews  is  made  immortal  through  that  walking 
advertisement  of  Hart,  Schaffner  &  Marx,  Wallace  Coxhead.  Oh! 
Facultate,  some  of  you  have  caused  us  sore  distress,  some  of  you  on 
the  other  hand  have  winked  at  our  failings,  yet  all,  we  believe,  bad 
as  it  was,  have  done  your  best.  As  we  slip  the  grip  in  parting  we 
wish  you  only  greater  freedom  from  presidential  restraint  and  higher 
salaries. 

Juniors!  The  time  has  now  come  when  we  must  commend  to 
your  care  all  those  traditions  and  usages  which  have  so  long  been 
sustained  by  our  united  and  untiring  efforts.  We  feel  that  we  have 
trained  you  in  the  way  you  should  go  and  like  kind  masters  we  have 
therefore  built  great  hopes  upon  your  future.  With  your  real 
interests  at  heart  we  have  often  wept  bitter  tears  when  you  have 
pursued  the  Goddess  Chance  within  the  confines  of  the  Raiser  club. 
We  have  witnessed  with  despair  the  revelries  of  the  Four  Leaf 
Clover  board,  but  after  all  we  are  convinced  that  this  spirit  of 
negation  among  you  will  be  amply  counteracted  by  the  better  ele- 
ments in  your  nature.  Dainty  Everett's  eagle-addressed  sonnets, 
the  gesture-enforced  socialistic  theories  of  Eddie  Cohn,  and  the 
poetic  prose  of  that  tonsorial  artist's  model,  J.  Cuthbert  Long,  are 
surely  enough  to  move  stones  and  change  imps  into  angels.  It  is 
with  assurance  that  we  let  fall  the  purple  mantel  of  19 13  upon 
your  shoulders. 

To  you,  Underclassmen,  we  cast  but  a  parting  shot  of  advice. 
Don't  try  to  browbeat  Kidder!  He  may  appear  easy,  but  will  surely 
get  you  in  the  end.  Don't  follow  too  closely  the  examples  of  Gordon 
Hall  and  Jimmy  Smith.     Avoid  cultivating  with  too  much  assiduity 


NINETEEN    HUNDRED    AND    THIRTEEN  127 

the  favor  of  the  faculty  ladies.  They  may  have  designs  upon  mar- 
riageable youth.  Never  seek  to  experience  twice  the  side-kick  of 
Rahar's  private  stock.  Stick  to  your  books,  put  no  trust  in  the 
promises  of  Loomis  or  Sniff  Andrews,  and  above  all,  remember  the 
old  adage: — "A  word  to  the  wise  is  sufficient,  but  the  fool  passeth 
on  to  destruction." 

Classmates  of  19 13!  We  came  together  here  four  years  ago 
as  strangers.  In  the  brief  space  of  our  college  course  we  have  suf- 
fered much  at  each  other's  hands,  and  more  through  the  decrees  of 
those  above  us.  Yet  today  after  all  these  forced  attempts  at  humor, 
we  are  led  to  realize  that,  rough  as  the  path  has  been,  our  little 
triumphs  and  defeats  have  served  but  to  unite  us  more  closely.  As 
we  look  toward  the  future  our  hearts  or  full  of  mingled  emotions. 
But  if  there  is  one  thought  common  to  all,  it  is  safe  to  say  that  it  is 
for  the  enduring  glory  of  Amherst,  and  thus,  like  loyal  sons,  we 
ever  rise  to  call  her  blessed.

After  weighing  the  matter  with  great  care,  14  men  come  to  the 
conclusion  that  "Croc"  Thompson  is  Amherst's  greatest  incumbrance. 
Doc.  Phillips  and  Utter  are  not  far  behind  in  the  race  for  honors, 
drawing  8  and  7  votes  respectively.  Scattering  shots  at  other  members 
of  the  faculty  and  for  the  faculty  as  a  whole  number  20  more  votes. 
Among  the  courses  to  be  favored  the  department  of  physical  educa- 
tion has  the  palm  with  four  counts.  Some  of  the  class  showed  their 
independence  by  condemning  rules,  the  major  and  minor  system,  com- 
pulsory church  and  chapel,  conservatism,  etc. ;  others  displayed  symp- 
toms of  pessimism  by  decrying  the  '85  Memorial,  the  small  number 
of  students,  the  old  regime,  the  trustees,  the  faculty  pension  system, 
and  lack  of  hazing.     Even  "Doc"  Berman  has  an  enemy.

Hitchcock  Hall  fell  below  expectation,  with  but  4  votes,  while 
gut  courses  and  competitions  were  also  low  in  the  running.  A  soli- 
tary but  significant  vote  was  cast  for  the  Baptist  church  bell — sig- 
nificant in  reminding  us  that  the  Sabbath  should  be  a  day  of  rest.

Thirty-five  of  the  class  agree  that  Amherst's  greatest  need  at 
present  is  more  men.  Fifteen  wrould  like  most  of  all  to  have  more 
inspiring  professors  like  Churchill  and  Newlin.  Six  believe  that 
Amherst  is  badly  in  need  of  publicity,  and  the  same  number  call 
for  a  good  athletic  board.  The  need  of  more  athletics  and  better 
athletic  spirit  is  emphasized  by  9.  Some  see  the  need  of  improvement 
in  the  departments  of  Physical  Education,  English  and  Economics, 
while  others,  with  at  least  a  bluff  at  broad-mindedness,  think  the 
students  themselves  could  be  improved.  Four  point  out  the  need  of 
new  college  spirit.  Among  other  needs  hit  upon  are  a  new  treasurer, 
a  new  library,  a  good  eating  establishment,  a  union,  a  baseball  cage, 
a  Sophomore  philosophy  course,  a  new  hotel,  a  new  chapel,  and, 
strange  to  say,  money.  The  need  of  optimism  may  well  be  mentioned 
at  this  point.  Summer  baseball  has  two  adherents,  and  two  men 
want  license  in  town.  Several  voters  do  not  mind  saying  that  they 
would  like  free  booze,  free  tuition  and  other  gratuities.

Hard  luck,  say  27 ;  while  24  think  we're  noted  for  being  the 
college's  curriculum  tester  and  goat;  as  Stilwell  put  it,  "acting  as  a 
poison  squad."  Our  fame  lies  in  our  number  of  all-round  men,  say 
8,  and  as  many  more  think  that  failure  to  win  money  prizes  is  the 
most  salient  feature  of  our  history.  Ability  in  both  athletics  and 
scholarship  is  mentioned  by  some,  while  stick-to-itiveness  and  the  loss 
of  good  athletes  are  other  things  for  which  we  have  been  noted.  Scat- 
tering votes  were  for  our  democracy,  class  loyalty,  originality  and 
for  our  actual  graduation.  The  trinity — Leiper,  Stilwell  and  Mer- 
rill— is  also  not  forgotten.  Some  wise  voter  put  emphasis  on  the 
contrast  between  ourselves  and  '12  and  '14;  while  a  pessimist  had 
the  nerve  to  put  down  "nothing."

"The  Intellectual  Renaissance"  and  "The  Scholastic  Reign 
of  Terror"  claimed  20  votes  between  them.  The  decrease  in  the 
number  of  students  and  the  major  and  minor  system  balanced  each 
other  with  10  votes  each,  while  the'85  Memorial  seemed  an  unusual 
occurrence  to  only  6  men.  The  general  change  in  attitude  came  in 
for  6  votes  and  the  decline  in  college  spirit  (a  development?)  for 
one.  Five  men  were  impressed  by  the  new  buildings  at  the  college 
and  4  by  Hitchcock  field.  The  unexpected  to  2  men  was  our  grad- 
uation ;  2  more  were  surprised  at  the  progressiveness  of  the  Presi- 
dent, but  both  were  left  behind  in  a  driving  finish  by  Prof.  Toll's 
baby,  who  received  3  votes.  Bailey's  "bean"  received  more  votes 
than  "Croc's"  cranium,  while  Ed  Morse  and  Sophie  (at  Thurbie's) 
tied  for  honors.  Others  favored  the  Amherst  Fire  Department, 
"Lanky's"  engagement,  Leiper's  smoking,  decline  in  athletics  and 
the  ruling  against  summer  baseball.

We  are  now  passing  through  some  anniversary  days  of  our 
great  Civil  War.  I  was  reading  the  other  day  the  diary  of  Mason 
Tyler.  As  you  know,  he  was  graduated  from  Amherst  in  1862,  a 
man  of  frail  physique  but  intense  nature,  and  his  first  step  after 
graduation  was  to  enter  the  army.  I  looked  for  that  part  of  his 
diary  which  recorded  the  events  of  June,  1863,  and  found  that  in 
the  1 2th  of  June  fifty  years  ago  to-morrow,  with  the  rest  of  the 
army  of  the  Potomac  to  which  he  belonged  he  was  turning  his 
back  on  the  Rappahannock  and  was  headed  towards  the  North. 
He  speaks  of  the  heat  and  of  the  way  in  which  the  paraphernalia  of 
the  soldiers  disappeared,  how  night  after  night  and  day  after  day 
they  marched  northward.  Then  they  learned  that  on  the  other 
side  of  those  mountains,  another  army  in  advance  of  them  was 
marching  toward  the  North.  The  army  of  the  Potomac  to  which 
Tyler  belonged  was  to  meet  Lee's  army  in  the  critical  struggle  of 
the  Civil  War  at  Gettysburg.  It  was  the  very  crisis  of  that  great 
conflict,  and  every  young  man  in  those  days  who  was  graduated 
from  college  had  his  mind  filled  with  the  thoughts  of  the  soldier's 
life. 

Nineteen  centuries  ago  a  young  man  left  his  native  city  of 
Tarsus  in  Cilicia,  one  of  the  great  cities  of  the  East.  He  came  from 
a  home  of  affluence  and  culture.  There  is  little  doubt  that  he  had 
the  advantages  of  the  schools  and  the  university  at  Tarsus,  and  he 
went  to  Jerusalem  to  take  a  graduate  course  in  the  history  of  his 
race  and  the  tenets  of  his  religion.  When  his  preparation  was 
finished,  he  too,  like  Mason  Tyler,  entered  upon  a  life  of  warfare. 
He  began,  you  will  remember,  as  a  persecutor,  but  by  a  marvelous 
transformation  of  motives  he  became  the  protagonist  of  a  despised 
sect.  He  gave  up  his  birthright.  He  had  to  contend  against  the 
educated  people  of  his  day,  against  conservative  forces  and  intrenched 
privileges.  He  fought,  not  indeed  with  the  ordinary  weapons  of 
battle  but  in  a  warfare  of  the  mind  and  a  warfare  of  the  soul.  He 
went  through  Asia  Minor  and  went  into  Europe.     He  came  back, 


140  AMHERST  COLLEGE  CLASS  BOOK 

faced   councils  and   Kings,   finally   the   imperial   Caesar,   and   in   the 
end  suffered  martyrdom.     He  had  fought  a  good  fight. 

In  this  year  19 13,  the  year  in  which  you  gentlemen  are  to  be 
graduated  from  Amherst  College,  there  seems  to  be  about  us  nothing 
but  peace.  No  one  of  us  is  called  upon  to  shoulder  a  musket  or 
point  a  cannon  at  his  brother.  Morris  Schaff  tells  us  that  in  a 
recent  visit  he  found  the  violets  growing  on  the  fields  of  Five  Forks 
and  Appomattox.  Verily  we  have  come  to  all  appearance  upon 
days  of  peace;  and  yet,  Gentlemen  of  1913,  like  Saint  Paul  you  are 
to  graduate  into  warfare,  not  literal  warfare,  but,  like  Saint  Paul's,  a 
warfare  of  the  mind  and  a  warfare  of  the  human  soul.  You  must, 
as  all  of  us  must,  take  your  part  in  the  great  economic  and  social 
struggle  that  is  going  on  all  about  us.  The  days  of  peace  are  not 
yet. 

Now  what  preparation  has  College  been  able  to  give  you  for 
this  struggle  on  which  you  are  going  to  enter?  I  think  all  of  us 
teachers  feel  how  far  short  the  College  has  fallen  of  its  obligation 
to  equip  you  for  the  work  at  hand.  Let  us  stop  and  think  for  a 
moment  what  the  College  has  striven  to  do,  and  what  the  College 
ought  to  have  done  for  you  and  every  man  in  this  undergraduate 
body.  First  it  would  impart  knowledge,  furnish  the  mind  with 
the  facts  and  experience  of  the  ages.  People  talk  about  the  "useless" 
knowledge  acquired  in  college  days.  I  doubt  whether  any  knowl- 
edge is  useless  that  is  systematized  and  pursued  with  a  conscious  end. 
Knowledge  is  as  essential  a  thing  to  the  human  mind  as  food  and 
oxygen  are  to  the  body.  Without  knowledge  it  would  sicken  and 
die.  But  there  is  something  beyond  knowledge.  That  is  mere 
furnishing.  The  house  must  be  ready  for  the  knowledge  that  is  to 
come  to  it.  There  must  be  training  and  discipline,  and  this  the 
College  should  have  given  you.  I  remember  a  few  years  ago  having 
a  talk  with  a  Boston  Clergyman,  a  man  who  stood  in  the  front  rank 
of  the  ministers  of  New  England.  When  I  inquired  about  the 
method  of  preparation  of  his  sermons,  he  said:  "Monday,  I  rest. 
Tuesday  I  choose  my  theme,  and  in  a  conscious  or  unconscious  way 
that  theme  is  in  my  mind  until  Saturday,  when  I  write  it;  but  in  the 
intervening  time  all  my  thought  and  reading  contributes  to  that 
theme  until  I  write."  This  is  the  ideal  mind,  the  real  training,

among  sand  and  iron  filings.  It  assorts  facts  as  a  skillful  postal 
clerk  assorts  the  mail.  But  there  is  something  more  than  training 
that  a  college  is  bound  to  give  to  men  within  its  walls. 

There  must  be  a  point  of  view,  and  with  that  point  of  view 
goes  a  large  vision.  Ptolemy  evolved  a  very  complicated  plan  oi 
the  solar  system.  Copernicus  changed  men's  point  of  view.  Ptolemy 
had  looked  at  the  world  from  the  standpoint  of  the  earth  and  all 
was  confusion.  Copernicus  said  "Let  us  look  at  it  from  the  stand- 
point of  the  sun."  A  change  in  the  point  of  view  and  all  wTas  simple. 
So  too,  with  Saint  Paul.  Peter  had  the  narrow  view  of  the  life, 
death,  and  resurrection  of  Christ.  If  he  had  had  his  way  the 
Christian  religion,  localized  and  obscure,  would  have  been  confined 
to  a  country  as  small  as  England;  but  Saint  Paul  with  that  larger 
view  which  came  from  the  cosmopolitan  life  and  training  he  had 
received,  from  his  knowledge  of  Roman  and  Greek  civilization,  was 
enabled  to  take  the  point  of  view  that  changed  it  into  a  world 
religion. 

And  so  the  College  should  have  given  you  this  point  of  view, 
and  with  it  ideals.  After  all  ideals  are  the  only  real  things.  What 
we  call  real  may  disappear,  but  ideals  remain.  Such  things  as 
purity,  beauty,  and  justice  are  abiding.  Every  great  man  in  history 
has  been  actuated  by  an  ideal.  Columbus  was  an  idealist  when  he 
turned  the  prow  of  his  vessels  towards  the  new  world.  Fichte  was 
an  idealist  when  he  fired  the  German  students  with  a  love  of  liberty 
and  hurled  Napoleon  back  across  the  border. 

But  after  all  the  end  is  not  yet.  "STAND  THEREFORE 
HAVING  YOUR  LOINS  GIRT  ABOUT  WITH  TRUTH, 
HAVING  THE  SHIELD  OF  FAITH  AND  THE  SWORD 
OF  THE  SPIRIT."  The  College  is  under  fire  today  from  the 
outside  world.  We  are  told  that  the  questions  we  are  dealing  with 
are  not  real,  that  it  is  not  a  preparation  for  life,  that  we  are  tackling 
dummies,  picking  up  grounders  from  friendly  batters,  merely  rehears- 
ing. But  the  same  criticism  could  be  passed  on  all  forms  of  prepara- 
tion. The  West  Point  boy  has  to  fight  the  mimic  battles.  The 
German  soldier  must  go  through  the  manoeuvers  of  war.  I  think, 
however,  that  there  does  lie  in  that  criticism  some  portion  of  truth. 
It  is  only  life  that  can  beget  life.  There  must  be  something  beyond 
the   knowledge   and   truth   and   something  beyond   intellectual   ideas.

LJke  Saint  Paul  we  must  take  the  shield  of  faith  and  the  sword  of 
the  spirit.  These  are  substantially  identical — for  faith  has  been 
called  "the  window  of  the  soul."  It  is  the  organ  of  spiritual  vision. 
Yes,  we  must  have  a  great  robust  faith,  a  faith  so  strong  that  as  in 
Saint  Paul's  case  difficulties  are  swept  away  and  doubts  vanish,  faith 
in  ourselves,  faith  in  our  fellow  men,  faith  in  the  triumph  of  our 
cause,  faith  in  our  God. 

And,  now,  my  friends  of  the  class  of  19 13,  I  come  to  the  part- 
ing words.  This  is  your  last  chapel.  I  remember  so  well  the  first 
chapel  that  you  attended,  when  you  sat  in  these  galleries,  boys  still, 
wistfully,  dreamily,  gazing  into  "the  golden  haze  of  college  days." 
You  came  down  and  sat  at  the  left,  across  to  the  right,  and  came 
up  to  the  front.  The  years  have  passed  swiftly  but  the  changes 
have  merely  served  to  punctuate  college  life,  a  life  of  real  romance. 
You  will  gather  on  Class  Day,  in  the  Church  on  Baccalaureate 
Sunday,  and  on  Commencement  Day,  but  this  is  the  last  time  that 
you  will  meet  together  in  the  old  Chapel.  You  have  come  unwill- 
ingly at  times,  sometimes  not  at  all.  And  yet  you  know  that  this  is 
in  more  senses  than  one  the  most  sacred  place  on  College  Hill.  Oh! 
If  these  walls  could  speak!  There  are  represented  here  in  this  our 
hall  of  fame,  leaders  in  scholarship,  diplomacy,  finance,  politics,  war. 
Strong  militant  men,  soldiers  of  the  world !  There  is  about  us  today 
a  great  crowd  of  witnesses.  Yes,  you  are  going  to  leave  us,  and 
your  Dean  lingers,  reluctant  to  say  the  last  word.  You  may  not 
recall  the  fact  that  his  first  official  act  was  to  meet  you  in  this 
room  at  your  first  Chapel.  As  the  Good  Book  says,  "THE  MAS- 
TER LOOKED  UPON  THE  YOUNG  MAN  AND  LOVED 
HIM."  Men  of  1913,  Pupils,  Comrades,  Friends,  good-bye  and 
Godspeed.
